is ConTeXt prepared for math?
I mean...can I do...
$\sum_{i=1}^{n}{x_{i}}$
as I used to in LaTeX ?
I don't make the \Sigma to be under and over characterised by i=1 and n.

Hi Jose, Indeed ConTeXt contains all the plain TeX commands and you can use them (in this case \sum). So these formulas give what you want $\sum_{i=1}^n x_i$ (for the summation) $\prod_{i=1}^{i=n} (1+x_i)$ (for the product), and so on. For the displayed version you can use either $$\sum_{i=1}^n x_i$$ or \startformula \sum_{i=1}^n x_i \stopformula Best regards: OK
