new to `context' and my first question to the list: how can I achieve
the following (`latex') behaviour:
\newcommand{\km}{\ensuremath{K_m}}
We can now use \km\ in the body text as well as in this

\km = 1
\end{equation}
display equation.
As a side remark, you should normally avoid using lowercase commands
like \km (especially if they are small) as you may inadvertently
overwrite an inbuilt TeX command (e.g., if you redefine \span or \omit,
amongst others). Unlike LaTeX, ConTeXt does not halt at the redefinition
of these commands; it simply spews a warning. Personally, I find that a
is this behavior configurable (I think I'd rather prefer `latex' behavior
here
and still use lowercase abbreviations until I hit a real names clash)
safer alternative is to use uppercase or camelcase words to define your
own commands: either \KM or \Km. This way you avoid conflict with
inbuilt commands.
understood.
If you are using macros for abbreviations, you can also use the
following:
\definesynonyms[mathnotation][mathnotations][\infull]
\mathnotation [KM] {\mathematics{K_m}} {Viscosity of membrane}
\starttext
\placelistofmathnotations
\section{Test}
We can use \KM\ to denote \infull{KM}.
\startformula
\KM = 10
\stopformula
\stoptext
really thanks a lot for this tip. this seems to be the way to go for any
"serious" document. (and `viscosity of membrane' is tight, but not right:
it's a metabolic rate (which could be influenced by membrane permeability)
in my context ;-))
joerg
This way, you get a list of notation for free.
