I had tried using \setupformulas, but it did not work when I posted my
question. I suppose it was for the reason you mentioned. I will try it
again, once I have downloaded the latest beta.
Thanks.

Hi, Can someone please help with the alignment of the equation so that it starts at left. I tried flushleft and other options (such as without \NC \NR, with align=left etc.). None of them result in the equation starting at the left margin. The equation is either placed in the middle or is aligned to the right. I want it to start at the left.
Thanks.
\setuppapersize[letter][letter]
\starttext
\startformula\startalign[align={left}] \NC\text{\bf Example: } \frac{d(4x^{2})}{dx} = 4 \frac{dx^{2}}{dx} = 4 (2x) = 8x.\NC{ }\NR \stopalign\stopformula
\stoptext
The correct way to do this is
\setupformulas[align=flushleft]
\starttext \startformula a = b \stopformula \stoptext
However, this does not work in MkIV due to a bug introduced in the splitting of mkii-mkiv files. math alignment works using commands
\def\startinnermath {\getvalue{\e!start\??fm\formulaparameter\c!align}}
\def\stopinnermath {\getvalue{\e!stop \??fm\formulaparameter\c!align}}
which are defined in math-ali.mkiv. However, strc-mat.mkiv redefines these to \empty, so the simple math alignment does not work anymore.
Hans: we need to either move these definitions from math-ali to strc-mat or remove
\let\startinnermath\empty \let\stopinnermath \empty
from strc-mat.mkiv
