Re: [NTG-context] \| should give two || and not one

Hi All, In a way, it is correct that for compatibility reasons and and convert it is good to keep the old syntax. Yet, ConTeXt is suppose to be more natural. Personally, I find some of the names used in TeX and LaTeX often hard to find. Whenever, I needed a function or symbol I to often go look it up. I mean that \vert and \Vert are still cryptic. They can stand for abs, for all in, etc. .. Me, I prefer names that reflect the their functions, regards Keith. Am 18.02.2013 um 10:51 schrieb Mikael P. Sundqvist :

Indeed, luigi, but is that what you expect? Hm, hard to say for me. I find natural to use \vert and \Vert or, if possible, | and || . LaTeXt users find natural that \| is ||, but I don't see, as a ConTeXt user, a particular meaning in \| .

I think that since \| is defined as \Vert in the TeXbook and everyone writing mathematics in LaTeX are used to \| to mean \Vert there is no reason to have different behaviour in ConTeXt.
