How do I typeset two close vertical lines as in ||x||=1 ?
I'm still having problems migrating from latex to context: In latex, I used to write e.g. $\| x \| = 1$, and get two vertical lines on each side of the x. In ConTeXt, the same "\|" is only producing one single vertical line. I tried using "||" and "\parallel", but in both cases the spacing is not as desired. Does anybody know how this is done properly? Thanks, Julian

\starttext $\Vert x \Vert = 1$ \stoptext Wolfgang
thank you, Wolfgang, for your quick reply! This is exactly what I needed!

$\lVert x \rVert$ gives better spacing (even in LaTeX). Aditya
