Hello,
how to typeset differential in math correctly?
Here are my attempts:
\definemathcommand[dif][nolop]{\mfunction{d}} % Based on
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math/functions
\starttext
\startformula
\sin x {\tf d} x
\stopformula
\startformula
\sin x \dif x
\stopformu
The most common definition is
\define\dif{\mathop{}\!\mfunction{d}}
(I don't know enough of ConTeXt, so may be {\tf d} is better than
\mfunction{d}).
The important part is \mathop{}\! which will add the space on the left
automatically when it's needed (for instance in \frac{\dif x}{\dif y}
Dear list,
having used ConTeXt for years now, I am the first time in need
to, well, "programming" something. And I realised, I am a little bit
lost. I have a rather long list of variable descriptions that I would
like to typeset in a usable and readable way. It should look something
like this:

Hello,
thanks for the solution: \define\dif{\mathop{}\!\mfunction{d}}
Some explanation for \mathop and \mfunction would be appreciated,
and also explanation why \definemathcommand[dif][nolop]{\mfunction{d}} didn't
work...
But it is not urgent, just for perfection...
Best regards,
Lukas

The easy way to answer that:
\definemathcommand[dif][nolop]{\mfunction{d}} didn't work because it's
intended for log-like functions, and you don't want a log-like
function, but a differential, which behaves differently (for instance,
you *want* space between the function and the argument in `\sin x
