Hi list, I noticed that the sign for the square root does not adapt to the size of a fraction as in the attached minimal example. Thanks, Xenia

In what sense? Sqrt's grow in discrete steps.

Oh, I didn't know that. For my feelings, all variables should have the same size here (a,b and c). Xenia

ah, you mean the symbols; i'll check it ... probably a wrong 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

In this case you should probably use: a = \sqrt{b/c} Alan

Okay, but this was just a minimal example. I am handling much bigger fractions.

there was a wrong default in displaymode (fractions are being made configurable like fences and arrows and such) ...

Unless \startformula \stopformula are set in \textstyle, fractions should not be set that small, not in the default TeX settings. Regards, Khaled

Hopefully ok now ... I also made the mathstyle more conformant the new math style mechanism and added coloring of the fraction rule. \definemathfraction[innerfrac][frac][alternative=inner,mathstyle=script,color=red] \definemathfraction[outerfrac][frac][alternative=outer,mathstyle=script,color=blue] \starttext \startformula a = \frac{b}{c} = \sqrt{\frac{b}{c}} = \sqrt{{b}\over{c}} a = \frac{b}{c} = \sqrt{\frac{b}{c}} = \sqrt{{b}\over{c}} a = \outerfrac{a}{b} = \innerfrac{a}{b} = \frac{a}{b} \stopformula \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
