Wrong spacing before and after commas in math(?)

Wrong spacing before and after commas in math(?)

["Stefan Müller"]

Hi,

if I'm typesetting for example $(a,x,\dots,b)$ I see that the space before the x is too small. It should be bigger than the space after the x. I could work around it by typing $a,\,x,\dots,\,b$ but this is somewhat inconvenient and even a bit too much spacing...

On the other hand, the spacing before \dots is just right, but the spacing after \dots is too small: the spaces between commas and periods ",...," should all be the same.

Is this a bug? Can this be changed by a global option or something? Thanks for any help in advance.

Best regards,
Stefan

Does

\setupmathematics[autopunctuation=no] % or yes

give better result? (Are you using MKIV or MKII)?

I had a similar issue with MKIV. autopunctuation=no fixed it for me.

the default setup is for coordinates

eventually we will have layer that implements settings for specific 
fields as each demand their own rules (same for symbols)

\setupmathematics[autopunctuation=no] seems to fix the spaces before the 
x, but "...," is still bit ugly. I'm using MkIV, sorry for not 
mentioning it.

Do you mean coordinates like "a vector (x,y,z)"? I still think that the 
extra space before "y" and "z" would be appreciated. But nevertheless, 
different settings for different needs sounds like a good idea.

Thank you,
Stefan.
