Is there a way to remove the thinspace after a semicolon when it is followed by a number? It does not seem to be covered by the autopunctuation key in \setupmathematics. Alan

For a one-off solution, $1{;}2$ should work. Do we need support for this? That is: treat ; the same as , when enabled?

Hi, Hans—
Have you decided about treating ; the same as , when enabled in
\setupmathematics?

The problem with these , ; things is that they can occur with and without intentional spacing, so we then probably have to be able to set , and ; independently (there is also a cultural issue: . vs ,). It's no big deal to implement it, more how to interface it, (and our master of math Aditya has to agree) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

I have to admit that I have never seen semi-colon being used as a digit separator. Alan, do you need this for a one off project or is this something that is commonly used in some country/domain specific typographic tradition? Aditya
