Hi Hans and Hraban,

Thank you both for your remarks: indeed I am aware of the commands \m{} and \dm{} in ConTeXt, but for my work with math stuff I use the usual dollar signs for inline maths, since in this way it is easier for me to read the source on the one hand, and and on the hand when exchanging parts of a file with people using Plain TeX or LaTeX, it is more standard.

Best regards: Otared
