This was working before today but I updated ConTeXt and it has stopped working. The error it gives me now is:
tex error > tex error on line 277 in file determinants.tex: You can't use '\Ustopmath' in restricted horizontal mode
How can I get it working again?
-- Respect, Shiv Shankar Dayal I never seen \multispan before. But this seems to work:
\multispan is a plain TeX command to create cells which span multiple columns and makes only sense when you create tables with the \halign primitive because tables in context use hidden cells for padding on the left and right etc. Wolfgang
