Hi, I ran into a case where a natural table has an issue when it
contains inline math and an alignment character is used. Here's a small
example which triggers the problem:
\starttext<
\bTABLE<
\bTABLEbody<
\bTR<
\bTD[alignmentcharacter={.},aligncharacter=yes]{\le 4.0\math{-}}\eTD<
\eTR<
\eTABLEbody<
\eTABLE<
\stoptext<
However, if I replace \math{-} with $-$, the file works. Am I correct
that $-$ and \math{-} should be interchangeable?
Thanks,
Brian

side effect of alignmentcharacter that triggers expansion of cell
content, so just use $ here

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually generating TeX from an application
that interprets $ in it's own code and occasionally this causes me
trouble in passing the $ through to TeX to use in math mode (I think
they have a bug and am hoping I can get that fixed). So I tend to use
\math{} to avoid complications with escaping $, but was stuck in this
case because I couldn't use $ or \math{}.
Anyway, I just now solved my problem in the other application and am
able pass through $ appropriately so it's no longer an issue for me.
Thanks,
Brian
