Some features of m-steps does not work in mkiv. For example, I can not change colors and the shapes (first example), add steps from the cell (n) to the cell (n+m, m=2,3,4...) and reverse steps. \usemodule[steps,mathml] \starttext \startSTEPtable \setupSTEPcells [alternative=5, framecolor=red] \setupSTEPtexts [framecolor=green] \setupSTEPlines [alternative=5] \cell {initial concentration, $C_i$} \text {$\div C_f$, final concentration} \cell {diluation factor, $f$} \text {inverse} \cell {$\frac{1}{f}$} \text {$\times V_f$, volume of the volumetric flask} \cell {pipette volume, $V_p$} \stopSTEPtable

From the manual:

\startSTEPchart \cell {A} \cell {one} \texts{}{+2} \texts{}{+3} \cell {two} \cell {three} \texts{+4}{} \texts{+5}{} \cell {four} \cell {five} \stopSTEPchart \stoptext Jorge
