Subject: \setupmathradical[sqrt] crunches denominator in an \over fraction
Date: Mon, 21 Apr 2014 19:53:38 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87k3aitf25.fsf@approx.mit.edu> (raw)
I have been trying out the newish
\setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=mp], which has been very nice
because of the fine control over the radical sign.
I've noticed that it crunches the denominator in \sqrt{a\over b}
For example:
\starttext
\placeformula\startformula
\sqrt{k\over m}\quad \sqrt{\displaystyle{k\over m}}
\stopformula
\setupmathradical[sqrt][alternative=mp]
\placeformula\startformula
\sqrt{k\over m}\quad \sqrt{\displaystyle{k\over m}}
\stopformula
\stoptext
In the first line, the fractions come out fine. In the second line, the
first k\over m has a small, inline-math m in the denominator but a
display-math k in the numerator. The second sqrt is fine.
Is the problem that my plain-TeX habits, from decades using \over,
should be over, and that \frac is the recommended way?
(This is with the 2014.03.27 beta.)
