Dear list,

\starttext $\|v\|$ \stoptext

I expect two vertical bars on each side of v, but see only one.

Tested with the latest beta.

Thank you for your reply, Wim. I guess most/some people writing mathematics are used to write \| to get double bars from LaTeX, and if I remember correctly it was also like this in ConTeXt some time ago.

If this is changed on purpose I can very well use \Vert instead.

Dear Wim,

oh, sorry. I did not know that TeX set \| to \vert and not \Vert. Then probably my memory fails me that \| gave \Vert in earlier versions of ConTeXt aswell. I'll have to get used to \Vert, I guess.

Dear Wim, funny thing is that now that I had a look in my copy of the TeXBook I see \let\|=\Vert on page 361. /Mikael
