So what's the best way to input them: using \prime, \prime\prime, etc.?

And what is the way if one also want indices:
$f''_{xx}$ or $f_{xx}''$ or ... ?
I want the indices under the primes
did you try with
\setupmathematics
[collapsing=1]
both work but (i'm no mathematician) i'd opt for
$f_{xx}''$
as it says take the second something from f_{whatever} unless of course
the index applies the second something
But i bet that Aditya can give the real answer.
