First attempts at the math module

First attempts at the math module

All,

I find the output of this interesting. In the first display, the usual
Context philosophy of allowing the source file to have breaks to make it
more readable is nicely formatted in the output. If the same thing is
attempted with the new dmath environment, the line after the dmath
environment gets indented. This is not good, as it is not consistent with
the usual Context philosophy. In the third display, the line following the
display is again indented (obviously an error), but the spacing of the
display is horrible.

I've attached a dvi file of the output. I am using the latest beta
distribution of Context.

\usemodule[math]

\setupindenting[medium]

\starttext

Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid
of their country. Now is the time for all good men to come to the

Replace $j$ by $h-j$ and by $k-j$ in these sums to get [cf.~(26)]

\placeformula
\startformula
x^2+y^2=z^2
\stopformula

which is equivalent to the desired result.

I suggest that all math display environments either start with a \par. I
don't want math to be dependant on spacing!

Agree. As I said, it was a rather automated conversion from the latex
version, and I just deleted the latex switches to handle this
indentation business. I need to figure out why the last one
forgets to insert \abovedisplayskip (which is really weird).

Thanks for looking into it,

Taco
