eqnarray in ConTEXt?

eqnarray in ConTEXt?

[David Hansen]

Hi, 

is there something like the LaTEX command 'eqnarry' in ConTEXt? I want 
to write some formulas among each other with the equal sign at the same 
(horizontal) position.

David,

I use the TeX command \eqalign. Here is a sample.

\placeformula[-]
 \startformula
  \eqalign{%
  x&=2+2t,\cr
  y&=3-3t.}
 \stopformula

There is a math module, but it is sort of experimental with minimal
documentation. It seems to be on the back burner as many other projects
have more urgent priorty. So I stick with plain TeX code. It works very
nicely, though I deeply miss the constructs of AMSTeX.

I may find a moment next month, since we have a project that can benefit
from it,

I thought, the math module would implement most of AMSTeX
(or is based on)?

The math module is based on the breqn package, which doesnt have the old
AMSTeX top-level constructs but instead does automatic line breaking in 
formulas. It *does* implement most of the AMSTeX low-level stuff like
\overset. Currently, I have no time to work on it, the bib module needs
more immediate attention.

For numbered equations try:

\placeformula
    $$\eqalignno{
        M  &= S+D&\formulenummer[eq:M-purecom]\cr
        S' &= S+S_b = S + R&\formulenummer[eq:S-purecom]\cr }
    $$\par

\placeformula is used as documented. \equalignno is plainTeX macro,
therefore
is is documented in standard books (e.g. TeXBook). Three terms must be
present
for every row (separated with `&'): the left side of the equation, the
right side
and (possibly) the equation number. ConTeXt command \formulenummer can
be used for this purpose. Every line must end with \cr plainTeX macro.

Many greetings
M.K.
