Re: [NTG-context] problem with inline use of \lim

Hi all,
this may have been mentioned before, but I haven't been able to find
an answer to this: if I e.g. use $\lim_{t\rightarrow\infty} f(t)$,
the subscript of \lim appears underneath it, i.e. in displaystyle.
In LaTeX, it appears below right of \lim, much like with
$\sum_{i=1}$. The latter behaviour is of course preferred.
This is a bug.
I use ConTeXt version 2006.08.08, is this bug/feature know and has it
possibly been fixed up to now?
No, it has not been fixed, since nobody noticed it before (we need
more people doing math use ConTeXt :). As a quick work around add the
following on top of your source file.
\def\mathlimopcomm#1{\mathop{#1}}
Hans, the definition of \@@mathlimopcomm should be corrected in
math-ini.tex
\def\@@mathlimopcomm#1{\mathop{#1}} %no \limits

Are you sure? How about:
\def\@@mathlimopcomm#1{\mathop{#1}\displaylimits}
Best, Taco

Well, for the previous reply, I just looked at the difference between
LaTeX and ConTeXt's definitions.
How about:
\def\@@mathlimopcomm#1{\mathop{#1}\displaylimits}
I checked up with the TeXbook and both should be equivalent. Quoting
from the TeXbook
* double bend at the end of page 144
If you say \nolimits\limits (presumably because some macro like
\int specifies \nolimits, but you do want them), the last word takes
precedence. There’s also a command \displaylimits that can be
used to restore TEX's normal conventions; i.e., the limits will be
displayed only in styles D and D'.
* page 292 (summary of math mode)
\displaylimits, \limits, \nolimits. These commands are allowed only if
the current list ends with an Op atom. They modify a special field in
that Op atom, specifying what conventions should be used with respect
to limits. The normal value of that field is \displaylimits.
So, if I understand correctly, there is no difference between
\mathop{...} and \mathop{...}\displaylimits.
