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 ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

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

I got what I needed (For now :-) in those links. One thing that doesn't work for me is displaying cases in display.
