Sorry if this question reaches you twice, but the first time I used an email address not registered with this newsgroup.

The short example below typeset with

\usemodule[mathml] \starttext \typebuffer \blank \processxmlbuffer \stoptext

and "ConTeXt ver: 2014.04.04 00:08 MKIV beta" shows that the <mtext> element does not honour the tags within. This severely restricts the presentation.

...

So what makes you think these tags should be recognized and interpreted as being 'bold'?

see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MathML

Presentation MathML

....

Note however that these token elements may be used as extension points, allowing markup in host languages. MathML in HTML5 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5 allows most inline HTML markup in mtext, and

* |<mtext><b>non</b> zero</mtext>|

is conforming, with the HTML markup being used within the MathML to mark up the embedded text (making the first word bold in this example).

sure, but who says we're in html5 when we see mathml an dif not, who says that <b> reflects bold then so it can never be default ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
