Should this work, or should we rather use "~" and "\," as in the past?
repaired in next beta (was unwanted side effect of optimization)
"~", by the way, appears not to be respected in math mode; example:
\starttext $3\times 10^{-9}~\text{m}$
$3\times 10^{-9}\,\text{m}$ \stoptext
no surprise, as math has its own spacing model so it all depends on the definitions; i'm not even sure if we shoule support an active ~ in math mode at all
I do not have any strong feelings about this, but do believe that "~" has always provided an unbreakable white space in TeX, both in text and math mode. I also feel that "~" is more readable than "\,". Alan
