I recently had to reformat a document that contains mathematical notation and I was surprised how easy it was once I got the hang of it. There's only one tiny problem:
I have one equation inserted with \placeformula. Currently this formula gets numbered as equation 2.1 as it is in chapter two. I would prefer it to be called just (1) instead of (2.1).
The display math page at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math/Display says to use \setupnumber[formula][way=bysection] to get formulas numbered by section, but there are no hints on numbering the formulas with a running number independent of the section numbering. You can disable the chapter, section etc. number with the "prefix=no" setting but you should also add "way=bytext" because the prefix setting won't stop context from resetting the counter with each new chapter, or section.
%% begin example \setupformula[prefix=no] \starttext \chapter{Chapter} \placeformula \startformula 1 + 2 = 3 \stopformula \stoptext %% end example Wolfgang
