[NTG-context] Re: Strange extra space when using cases in an inner align in math

27 Sep 2024


      This seems to be fixed in the new ConTeXt version.
Thanks to all involved people.

Hi Gerion,
Hans is working on the problem.

Hi Mikael,
your examples are simpler, that is correct, but all of them have the extra space.
Thanks for the simpler code, I will integrate it!

Hi,
There is indeed a space added in this case. But you do not need n=3.
And in fact, you do not need a simplealign either, but can use an
ordinary align, with location=packed. It looks like you had the wrong
number of \NC. I hope the examples below help, the last one is merely
for Hans for looking into why the relation-digit space is added there.

OK with \typ {n=2} instead of \typ {n=3}:
\startformula
  \startalign
    \NC a = b \NC \NR
    \NC       \NC \startinneralign[n=2,align={1:right,2:left}]
                    \NC A      \NC = B \NR
                    \NC f(x,y) \NC = \startcases
                                       \NC 1 \NC a \NR
                                       \NC 1 \NC b \NR
                                       \NC 1 \NC b \NR
                                     \stopcases
                                       \NR
                  \stopinneralign
                  \NR
  \stopalign

With align and location set to packed, instead of simplealign
\startformula
  \startalign
    \NC a = b \NC \NR
    \NC       \NC \startalign[n=2,location=packed,align={1:right,2:left}]
                    \NC A      \NC = B \NR
                    \NC f(x,y) \NC = \startcases
                                       \NC 1 \NC a \NR
                                       \NC 1 \NC b \NR
                                       \NC 1 \NC b \NR
                                     \stopcases
                                       \NR
                  \stopalign
                  \NR
  \stopalign
\stopformula
Extra \typ {reldig} space before the 1:
\startformula
\startalign[n=3,location=packed,align={1:right,2:middle,2:left}]
                    \NC A      \NC = \NC B \NR
                    \NC f(x,y) \NC = \NC \startcases
                                           \NC 1 \NC a \NR
                                           \NC 2 \NC b \NR
                                         \stopcases

Hi,
I currently have the case of a strange extra space in math mode when using cases in inner align.
Here is a MWE to demonstrate the problem:
```
\definemathsimplealign[inneralign]
\startdocument
\startformula
        \startalign
                \NC a = b \NR
                \NC \NC \startinneralign[n=3,align={1:right,2:middle,3:left}]
                        \NC A \NC = \NC B \NR
                        \NC f(x,y) \NC = \NC \startcases
                                 \NC \text{strange}  \NC a \NR
                                 \NC \text{normal}  \NC b \NR
                                 \NC \text{also normal}  \NC b \NR
                        \stopcases
                \stopinneralign
        \stopalign
\stopformula
\stopdocument
```
"strange" and "normal" are not aligned what I would expect but strange has more space in front of it.
Is this a usage error or a bug in the math engine?
Best,
