Hi everyone,
I can't get cases subformula to work properly. My MWE, inspired from the wiki and the My Way "Using \startalign and friends" by Aditya Mahajan, is :
\starttext\placeformula\startformula \startcases \NC x = a \NR[+] \NC y = b \NR[+] \stopcases\stopformula\stoptext
This only prints (2) on the right of the whole cases system. If I use \placesubformula, the behavior remains exactly the same. It also yields the same output with live ConTeXt. The ConTeXt version I am using is 2018.01.19 13:42
Has there been a change in the behavior since the documents were written ? I asked on stackexchange, and since the document is 12 years old and the wiki consistent with it, they suggested me to ask the mailing list. Thanks in advance,
