Re: [NTG-context] Is startalign broken in mkiv?

18 Jul 2012

      It was never a problem in TeX to modify the control characters used according to your own pleasure. For me, the problem is now to change the 200+ occurrences of start/stopaligns distributed over dozens of files to the politically correct syntax.

The use of & (which is a common symbol) as a control character is a long
standing idiosyncrasy of TeX that I'm glad ConTeXt has got rid of.

Thanks -
the context way is:
\startformula \startalign
\NC v \NC = u + at \NR
\NC h \NC = ut + \frac12 gt^2 \NR
\stopalign \stopformula
