Is \not still supported?
Hi, is the \not command still supported in math mode or should users replace it with the combined form, e.g. \notin instead of \not\in. %%%% begin example \starttext \im{x \in M} \im{x \notin M} \im{x \not\in M} \stoptext %%%% end example Wolfgang

%%%% begin example \starttext
\im{x \in M}
\im{x \notin M}
\im{x \not\in M}
\stoptext %%%% end example indeed, because old school \not was a symbols that got overlayed.
we could of course make some clever not but i hav eto discuss that with MS .. if there are \not cases at all Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

My main reason for the question was to get clarification about the status of the command. Using the proper commands (e.g. \notin) was always the better choice because they produce better output than \not does. Wolfgang

One could do something like this: \define[1]\not {\ifdefined\csname not#1 \endcsname\relax \csname not#1 \endcsname \else \normalnot#1% \fi} Aditya
