Will something like this be useful to have, or is adding > \relax once in a while alright? I guess it'll depend on how hard this is to implement. At the moment I'm dealing with lots of Lie brackets so I'd certainly appreciate this feature very much ... in my opinion it would also improve consistency: the same markup works for any kind of formula! On the other hand one could also enforce the use of \[ whenever the glyph [ should be actually typeset. This would be the other road to consistency ;-) Oliver ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
