Hi everyone!
I appologise if this question is answered before.
I was trying to do some math in ConTeXt today, but failed. What I wanted to do was something similar to the \begin{cases}\end{cases} thing in LaTeX (amsmath?). For the non-LaTeX-math-users, its something like this:
f(x)= \begin{cases} 0 & \text{if}\ x<0\\ 1 & \text{if}\ x\geq 0 \end{cases}
and one gets something like this:
/ 0 if x<0 f(x) = < \ 1 if x>=0
I didn't find any commands that did this so I searched alittle in the maillist archive and didn't find any solution to it.
Are the amsmath commands available in one or another way or are the implemented somehow?
I found newmat and m-math but I didn't find a solution in either of them.
Are there any docs about how to type math in ConTeXt? I am also interested in things that looks like eqnarray and other environments in LaTeX's amsmath...
Thanks in advance, Micke P _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
Hi, You can use the Plain TeX structures \cases and \eqalign. here is an example: \starttext Let the function $f$ be defined by \placeformula[-] $$f(x) := \cases{ \eqalign{ & 1 \cr & 2 \cr & 3 \cr }\qquad \eqalign{ &\hbox{if }\, x<-1 \cr &\hbox{if }\, -1\leq x \leq +2 \cr &\hbox{if }\, x >+ 2 \cr }\cr }$$ \stoptext Regards: OK
