\frac switches the math style while \tfrac (textstyle), \dfrac 
(displaystyle) and \sfrac (scriptstyle) enforce a certain style.

%%%% begin example
\startbuffer[frac]
\frac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{2} - \tfrac{1}{2} + \sfrac{1}{2}
\stopbuffer

\starttext

\startformula
\getbuffer[frac]
\stopformula

\m{\getbuffer[frac]}

\startformula
   \frac
     {\getbuffer[frac]}
     {\getbuffer[frac]}
\stopformula

\m{\frac
   {\getbuffer[frac]}
   {\getbuffer[frac]}}

\stoptext
%%%% end example

Wolfgang
