Also, note that div and rot should be in text font. You should probably do \startmathcollection[default] \definemathcommand [div] [nolop] {\mfunction{div}} \definemathcommand [rot] [nolop] {\mfunction{rot}} \stopmathcollection
and use \div \rot etc.

Hi Aditya, I tested your solution and it works great. I cannot see any problems in my output. I wish I had your Tex programming skills, I am trying to learn the language myself from the TexBook (D.Knuth) but I still have a long way to go. BTW Thanks for your comment on the div, rot. I indeed defined the div and rot in text font, it is defined in one of my environment settings. Attached my small Context script to confirm your solution Again thanks for your help, Kind regards Wim \unprotect % ========= Aditya code ============ \def\placesubformulawithnumber{% \dodoubleempty\doplacesubformulawithnumber} \def\doplacesubformulawithnumber[#1][#2]%#2 gobbles spaces {\iffirstargument \incrementnumber[\v!formula] \makesectionnumber[\v!formula] \rawreference{\s!for}{#1}{\composedsectionnumber} \else \incrementnumber[\v!formula] \fi\placesubformula} \startmathcollection[default] \definemathcommand [div] [nolop] {\mfunction{div}} \definemathcommand [rot] [nolop] {\mfunction{rot}} \stopmathcollection % ================================= \definereferenceformat [informula] [left=(, right=), text=] \protect \starttext Some math tests, use of formula/subformula numbering. \placesubformulawithnumber[kem-chapter1-eqn1] \startformula \startalign \NC \div \vec{E} \NC = \frac{\rho}{\epsilon_{0}}\NR[kem-chapter1-eqn1:A][a] \NC \rot \vec{B} \NC = \mu_{0} \:\vec{j} \NR[kem-chapter1-eqn1:B][b] \NC \div \vec{B} \NC = 0 \NR[kem-chapter1-eqn1:C][c] \NC \rot \vec{E} + \frac{\partial \vec{B} }{\partial t} \NC = 0 \NR[kem-chapter1-eqn1:D][d] \stopalign \stopformula See \informula[kem-chapter1-eqn1] or alternatively \informula[kem-chapter1-eqn1:A], \informula[kem-chapter1-eqn1:B],\informula[kem-chapter1-eqn1:C] or \informula[kem-chapter1-eqn1:D]. \blank Another test to check that the formula numbers work as expected \placeformula[kem-chapter-eqn11] \startformula \cases{ \eqalign{ \widehat{\vec{x}} &= - \vec{x} \cr \widehat{t} & = t \cr }} \quad \text{resp.} \quad \cases{\eqalign{ \widehat{\vec{x}} &= \vec{x} \cr \widehat{t} & = -t \cr }} \stopformula \stoptext
