Hi Hans, if I get it right this means that you provide a mechanism that brakes formulas automatically across several lines? I appreciate this very much! Thank you for including this into the next beta! Would it be possible to do something like that for breaking long formulas across pages (or is that maybe included in the new mechanism)?

Okay, that would be really great. Maybe a semi-automatic breaking across pages could be doable. The AMS package for LaTeX implements something like that. If you write \allowbreak (I am not absolutely sure if this is the true command, but it is something like that) at a line of an equation with multiple lines the typesetting algorithm knows that the formula can be broken across pages at that point. If something like that could be done in ConTeXt it would be really great. At present it is somewhat complicated to handle equations with many lines since you have to typeset the text and check if everything fits. If you could mark certain lines of an equation to be allowed to be broken at the end of a page, working with multiple line equations would be much easier and faster.
