Fantastic! Thank you Hans, it is way better than the old mechanism \setmathfunctionstyle. Now I have a few suggestions to improve the consistency of this new mechanism. First, I think this functionstyle key a) should be better called 'mathlabelstyle'; b) be default to \tf to make the FONT ALTERNATIVE always upright; c) be linked to this following new definition in math-ini.mkiv: + \unexpanded\def\mathlabel#1{\text{\mathlabelstyle #1}} so that \mathlabel can be used for labeling math objects like functions but ALSO for labeling variables with subscripts (e.g., \rho_{\mathlabel{air}}). The hardcoded \text in the definition of \mathlabel is used here for these 5 reasons: 1. It CAN make the FONT STYLE adaptative to the surrounding style (if the \mathlabelstyle inside—defined by the user in \setupmathematics[mathlabelstyle=]—does not specify another FONT STYLE like \rm, \ss or \tt). 2. It uses proper mathcodes (hyphens are not converted to minus binary operators—useful if one wants to call its function or subscript 'low-frequency' for instance—, apostrophes are not converted to primes—useful if one wants to call its function 'Riemann's function' for instance). 3. It uses proper kerning (if one wants to call its function or subscript 'WALL' for instance). 4. It uses proper ligatures (if one wants to call its function or subscript 'efficiency' for instance). 5. It avoids the user having to add \kern\zeropoint to prevent vertical alignment to the middle of the fraction bar when used inside \mathop for one-character function names (if one wants to call its function 'd' for instance). That \mathlabel should replace \mfunction which should be removed, and \mfunctionlabeltext should be removed as well and one should directly use the already defined \mathlabeltext instead, for these 3 reasons: 1. Every command containing the word 'labeltext' should not have a style attached to it. 2. The word 'function' is misleading because \mfunction and \mfunctionlabeltext do not create a \mathop atom and it makes the user believe its usage is restricted for labeling functions while the command should also be used for labeling variable with subscripts (e.g., \rho_{\mathlabel{air}} is far better than \rho_\mfunction{air}). 3. Using only \mathlabeltext with \setuplabeltext is also more consistent with the current \labeltext that works with \setuplabeltext. Thus the function definitions in math-def.mkiv should be changed: - \definemathcommand [arccos] [nolop] {\mfunctionlabeltext{arccos}} + \definemathcommand [arccos] [nolop] {\mathlabel{\mathlabeltext{arccos}}} etc. And I think you should add in this file the definition of the differential operator which is so widely used in mathematics, so that users have at their disposal once for all a proper implementation of this operator and don't have to make their own hack: + \definemathcommand[diff]{\mathop{\mathlabel{d}}\mathopen{}} With this new \mathlabel command, the user now have a convenient and consistent way to label its math objets (functions and variables with subscripts): \definemathcommand[arsinh][nolop]{\mathlabel{arsinh}} \starttext $\arsinh z = \ln\bigl(z + \sqrt{z^2 + 1}\bigr)$\par $\rho_{\mathlabel{air}} = \frac{p}{R_{\mathlabel{specific}}T}$\par \stoptext

mfunction will stay as it is also needed for tagged pdf and exporting (basically it's an apply math function thing) so if something else is needed another name/mechanism have to be made (with appropriate tagging) the label itself is a special case as it's optional (and is just there for cultural differences as not all countries use the english names) so, \rho_{\mathlabel{air}} is something different then, some kind of multi-character variable?
Thus the function definitions in math-def.mkiv should be changed:
- \definemathcommand [arccos] [nolop] {\mfunctionlabeltext{arccos}} + \definemathcommand [arccos] [nolop] {\mathlabel{\mathlabeltext{arccos}}} etc.

i can add a 'diff'
With this new \mathlabel command, the user now have a convenient and consistent way to label its math objets (functions and variables with subscripts):

Fantastic! Thank you Hans, it is way better than the old mechanism \setmathfunctionstyle. Now I have a few suggestions to improve the consistency of this new mechanism. First, I think this functionstyle key a) should be better called 'mathlabelstyle';
No. The style applies to anything called using \mfunction{...}, so functionstyle and functioncoloar are appropriate keys.
b) be default to \tf to make the FONT ALTERNATIVE always upright;
I disagree. The default should be \mathupright (as is the case in amstex and latex, and probably also plaintex). We now have the option to change it to \tf if desired.
c) be linked to this following new definition in math-ini.mkiv:
+ \unexpanded\def\mathlabel#1{\text{\mathlabelstyle #1}}
so that \mathlabel can be used for labeling math objects like functions but ALSO for labeling variables with subscripts (e.g., \rho_{\mathlabel{air}}). The hardcoded \text in the definition of \mathlabel is used here for these 5 reasons:
Hans already replied to that.
That \mathlabel should replace \mfunction which should be removed, and \mfunctionlabeltext should be removed as well and one should directly use the already defined \mathlabeltext instead, for these 3 reasons:
I strongly disagree to this. These are two completely different issues (wanting a macro to tag multiletter variable names vs a macro to tag log-like operators).
1. Every command containing the word 'labeltext' should not have a style attached to it. 2. The word 'function' is misleading because \mfunction and \mfunctionlabeltext do not create a \mathop atom and it makes the user believe its usage is restricted for labeling functions while the command should also be used for labeling variable with subscripts (e.g., \rho_{\mathlabel{air}} is far better than \rho_\mfunction{air}). 3. Using only \mathlabeltext with \setuplabeltext is also more consistent with the current \labeltext that works with \setuplabeltext.
Thus the function definitions in math-def.mkiv should be changed:
- \definemathcommand [arccos] [nolop] {\mfunctionlabeltext{arccos}} + \definemathcommand [arccos] [nolop] {\mathlabel{\mathlabeltext{arccos}}} etc.
I don't see the rationale for this.
And I think you should add in this file the definition of the differential operator which is so widely used in mathematics, so that users have at their disposal once for all a proper implementation of this operator and don't have to make their own hack:
+ \definemathcommand[diff]{\mathop{\mathlabel{d}}\mathopen{}}
Note that there is no consensus on how the `d` in calculus should be typeset. There are also \differentiald and \differentialD that map to unicode slots.
\definemathcommand[arsinh][nolop]{\mathlabel{arsinh}}
\starttext $\arsinh z = \ln\bigl(z + \sqrt{z^2 + 1}\bigr)$\par $\rho_{\mathlabel{air}} = \frac{p}{R_{\mathlabel{specific}}T}$\par \stoptext
\mfunction already does that. I'll reply to the rest of the message later. Aditya

Maybe not consensus, but see tug.org/TUGboat/tb18-1/tb54becc.pdf about ISO 31/XI. /Mikael
And in my opinion, names for operators and subscripts should all be upright, that is adaptative to the surrounding TEXT STYLE (\rm, \ss and \tt) BUT not adaptative to the surrounding TEXT ALTERNATIVE or MATH ALTERNATIVE (\it, \bi, \sl, \bs) and stay in the normal alternative \tf (upright).
This behavior can be achieved using \setupmathematics[functionstyle=normal] Aditya
