Bugs in math mode.

Bugs in math mode.

[Tarik Kara]

I have noticed the following problems when typing in math mode.
(I am using ConTeXt  ver: 2001.7.11 and
pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-14f-released-20000525-2.1)

1) Problem with \noaling: (I have writen about this but did not get any
reply). When I use \noaling{text} inside \eqalign "text" is not placed in
the left margin.

2) When I use 
\define\bestrsp{\mathop{\rm B}\nolimits}

to define \bestrsp and use $\bestrsp$ the B is printed slightly below the
baseline. I would like it to be printed on the baseline (like what I get
when I type $\sup$)

3) $\max x$ does not print $max x$ but prints x in a smaller font. I
thought plain TeX math commmands could be used in ConTeXt.

Thanks

\def\bestrsp{\mathop{\rm\vbox{\hbox{B}}}\nolimits}

or

\definemathcommand [bestrsp] [op] {\vbox{\hbox{B}}}

Dear Hans,

Thanks for the information about \mathop.

Regarding the \max command. I checked again. There is not problem if you
don't use

\setupbodyfont[ams]

But with \setupbodyfont[ams] there is a problem. For example, the code

\setupbodyfont[ams]
\starttext

$x \max x$
\stoptext

prints a normal sized x followed by a small x (no max). 

This time I checked carefully! Sorry once again that I had you spend some
time on \noalign. Thanks for all the help.

Have fun
