Hi! No, you have not gone wrong, but syntax has changed a bit. This works now: \starttext \placeformula \startformula \startmathalignment[n=7,align={1:right,2:left,3:right,4:left,5:right,6:left,7:right}] \NC x_1 \NC + \NC x_2 \NC + \NC 6x_3 \NC = \NC 170, \NR \NC 3x_1 \NC - \NC 110x_2 \NC - \NC x_3 \NC = \NC 4, \NR \NC 14x_1 \NC + \NC 13x_2 \NC + \NC 10x_3 \NC = \NC 25. \NR \stopmathalignment \stopformula \stoptext This was done while changing alignments in matrices (and thus also in alignments, it seems). You can now do align=all:right for example to get all columns in a matrix right-aligned. Hans: since people like to use right/left/right/left/ when typesetting systems of equations... maybe one could add odd:right and even:left as well? /Mikael ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
