Hi Hans,
Thanks for the hint which consists in adding an \ifmmode to the definition of
\qed.
However, as you suggest, one needs some other mechanism in math mode, since
with your new definition of \qed the alignment of the formula changes when one
adds this close symbol:
%%%% begin-example-qed.tex
\definesymbol[Fin][\mathematics{\square}]
\def\qed{\ifmmode\quad\symbol[Fin]\else\strut\wordright{\symbol[Fin]}\fi}
\starttext
\startformula
a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
\stopformula
\startformula
a^2 + b^2 = c^2. \qed
\stopformula
One sees that\type{\qed} in the formula changes the alignment of the formula.
\qed
\stoptext
%%%% end-example-qed.tex
Thanks a lot for everything: Otared
