Has anyone who has read this far care to comment on the wiki questions: (2) Should the example there be re-written to use preferred ConTeXt syntax?
Definitely, yes to (2)!
I changed \over usage to \frac on the wiki page known, as of very recently, as "Text blocks/Environments/Frames" (i.e., https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Text_blocks/Environments/Frames )
However, the greyed math (see "Shaded background for part of a displayed equation" about 1/4 the way down the page) is too high. I changed \mframed to \inmframed which made it less bad, but I am at a loss as to The Right Way to get good horizontal alignment here.
Does anyone here who knows The Right Way have the time to either (a) fix the wiki, or (b) tell me The Right Way (and then I'll cheerfully fix the wiki)?
I am confident that I could kludge it to the correct height with a little box lowering trickery, but surely there is a better way.
This is how I'd do it: \definemathframed [graymath] [frame=off, location=mathematics, background=color, backgroundcolor=gray, backgroundoffset=3pt] \starttext \startformula \ln (1+x) =\, \graymath{x - \frac{x^2}{2}} \,+ \frac{x^3}{3}-\cdots. \stopformula \stoptext The key part is location=mathematics (or \mcframed .. short for math-centered). However, there appears to be a bug as the \frac is shown in text style instead of display style. Here is a minimal example illustrating the bug: \startformula \mcframed[mathstyle=display]{\frac{1}{x}} + \frac {1}{x} + \mcframed{\displaystyle \frac{1}{x}} \stopformula Aditya
