Hi

The following does not compile
\starttext
\startformula
[ {\bf{Q}},{\bf {R}} ]  = {\bf{Q} } {\bf {R}} - \textbf{R} \textbf{Q}
\stopformula
\stopttext
Error ! Missing \endcsname inserted
.......

where as this compiles

\starttext
$$
[ {\bf{Q}},{\bf {R}} ]  = {\bf{Q} } {\bf {R}} - \textbf{R} \textbf{Q}
$$
\stoptext

Why ??
Kind regards
Wim

How do you define \textbf?

Hi Wim,

Because of the optional argument of \startformula. Try this:

   \startformula \relax
   [ ..

Greetings, Taco

Sorry about that, I was and am busy converting 
my Latex code into Context 
and forgot about this definition. 
I defined \textbf as follows

\def\textbf#1{{\bf #1}}

BTW Taco already gave the answer. Thanks Taco

Thanks
Wim
