Dear list,
I was playing around and found that nesting $$s inside of \m blocks
typesets the code as text.
I can't find anything about this on the wiki or in the math-mkiv manual, so
I'm asking whether this is supported behaviour or just a bug?
Jack
\starttext
% All the same
\mathematics{math $text here$ math} \\
\math{math $text here$ math} \\
\m{math $text here$ math} \\
\m{math \text{text here} math} \\
\stoptext

I would say that this is unsupported expected behaviour ;)
It is better not to use $ at all (except when using it as a dollar sign when \asciimode is active).

A bit over-precise maybe, but while the first three are the same, the last line is
actually very subtly different.
The first three lines are essentially this in TeX82 :
$math $text here$ math\hfill\break
while that last line is
$math \hbox{text here} math\hfill\break
Best wishes,
Taco

which indeed makes
\starttext
\mathematics{$text$}
\stoptext
a puzzle
