I read in the wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math) that $…$ for inline math is deprecated in favor of \m{…} and more verbose variants. Is that really the case? If so, what is the reason and what are the differences?
When \asciimode is used you can input special characters without escaping: $5, 1%, etc. But this of course changes the syntax for the original constructs. Comments use %%, inline math becomes \math{…} or shorter \m{…}. More detailed explanation (credits to Aditya): https://randomdeterminism.wordpress.com/2011/09/04/some-thoughts-on-lowering... I like the new syntax and almost always use it, but I don't believe it's use is wide-spread. Marco
