I’m back to an attempt to migrate my old mkii project to lmtx

One thing I haven’t been able to find yet is how to use the blackboard font.

{\blackboard Q}

Doesn’t do anything. It also doesn’t give an error.

By the way, neither does \blackboard{Q} work. But \rationals works in the case of the letter Q.

Hi Gerben,

it only seems to work inside math:

  \starttext
  \dorecurse{26}{$\blackboard\characters{\recurselevel}
  \Characters{\recurselevel}$}
  \stoptext

I hope it helps,

Pablo

Yes, the new \blackboard command works, so $\blackboard{Q}$ works. Thanks.

Feature request: make sure that the new \blackboard switches math mode on/off if necessary. Not a big deal though. The fix is simple. Adding the info about math mode might also be helpful here: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Blackboard_bold <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Blackboard_bold>

The \blackboard command is a switch like \it, to keep it local to a 
single character put the left brace before the command.

     $Q {\blackboard Q} Q$

also, it is an math alphabet switch (one of the math alphabets)
