The use of & (which is a common symbol) as a control character is a long standing idiosyncrasy of TeX that I'm glad ConTeXt has got rid of. On Tue, Jul 17, 2012 at 07:32:09PM -0400, Matthias Weber wrote:

1 \starttext 2 \startformula \startalign 3 >> v &= u + at \\ 4 h &= ut + \frac12 gt^2 \\ 5 \stopalign \stopformula 6 \stoptext

Thanks -

the context way is:

\startformula \startalign \NC v \NC = u + at \NR \NC h \NC = ut + \frac12 gt^2 \NR \stopalign \stopformula
