Hi.
Sometimes I use variables (really rather abbreviations) in math formulas.
It seems to me that the letterspacing is a bit too wide then.
Maybe math mode thinks I want to multiply the letters as if they were variables
for themselves.
Is there a way to preserve normal letterspacing locally in a formula?
Latex provides a \mathit macro for such variables. From what I understand,
this is essentially the same as using \text{\it ...}. For example:
\starttext
\startformula \startalign
\NC efat \NR
\NC \text{\it efat} \NR
\stopalign \stopformula
\stoptext
You could wrap this around in a macro, if you wish (but don't use \mathit,
as that is reserved for normal math in context).
