Hello,
I am curious about what does everyone around here uses for typesetting
Math? Currently I know more LaTeX than anything else for that, but
from what I gather to use ConTeXt in full extent I should typeset
things directly in TeX or use MathML.
So far I've been some LaTeX-like stuff and it was worked fine, but
know I want to do more complet layouts that would involve LaTeX style
arrays to align equations in several lines.
So, what would you guys would recommend?
Thanks,
Pepe

Context, of course ;)

Not any more. Context has full blown support for most math constructs.

Context can do many complicated alignments. Right now Context has
features equivalent to following latex environments
equation, align, gather, alignat, falignat, array, cases, intertext,
substack, matrix, pmatrix, bmatrix, vmatrix, Vmatrix, all sorts of
arrows,
it has partial support for
aligned, gathered,
it has experimental support for
subformulas, tagging, breaking formulas across pages
(Context's native way of doing subformulas is a bit different from
latex's. Search the ML archives for something that works like latex's
subformulas. Breaking formulas across pages is a bit tricky, since it
is not clear what is the right place for a pagebreak in a display.
Right now, Context can either do no break at all, or break at any
line.)
it has no support for
smallmatrix, multiline, many small amstex enhancements.
Most of the amstex enhancements are simple, and it is easy to add
support for them. Right now, support is based on user requests, so if
you want something equivalent to latex's xyz, explain what it does,
and context will have that feature. What more can you ask for?
For a bit of documentation have a look at
http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/mathalign.pdf
and
http://dl.contextgarden.net/myway/matharrows.pdf
There is also some explaination at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math_structures
> So, what would you guys would recommend?
Start using context math. The syntax is a bit different from the way
latex does things, but as in other things with context, the syntax
makes configuration really easy. If you find that a certain feature is
missing, ask on the mailing list. Hans and Taco have been very
generous in adding new features on user requests.

Thanks! I got what I needed (For now :-) in those links.
One thing that doesn't work for me is displaying cases in display. I
was using the following:
\definemathcases[displaycases][style=\displaystyle]
But nothing has worked actually. Currently I am using ConTeXt stable
could this be the problem?
See my versions below.
Thanks,
Pepe
