The logarithm is the area of regions A and B. \stoptext But if I use \startformula..\stopformula instead of $$..$$, then the spacing is fine. I make the pdf file with 'texexec --pdf try.tex' and see the problem on my laptop (Debian testing/unstable i386, teTeX 3.0-14 + cm-super font package): texexec : TeXExec 5.2.4 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) context : ver: 2005.01.31 cont-en : ver: 2005.01.31 fmt: 2006.2.18 mes: english I thought a conTeXt upgrade might fix it, but I haven't (yet!) won the battle with teTeX and map and encoding files. However, the live ConTeXt (2006.02.15) on the Wiki displays, no pun intended, the same spacing problem. Should I not use $$..$$ for display math? I'm learning context as I convert my plain tex + eplain files. The Wiki page on Math says that context inherits its math from plain TeX, which implies that $$ should work. However, no examples on the page use $$, so maybe I shouldn't be so presumptuous. Although I'd like $$..$$ and \startformula..\stopformula to be equivalent, I can write a script to convert plain TeX $$..$$ constructions to \{start,stop}formula -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.
