Re: [NTG-context] text in mathematics

In many "less-rigorous" uses of equations, there is an abundant need to include words (text) in mathematics, and using \mathtext{} or \mbox{} or whatever is unwieldy. Readable subscripts, self-explanatory variable names, etc. might be text and not symbols. These situations can be very common. This

Re: [NTG-context] text in mathematics

Hi Alan, Wolfgang and Hans Åberg, As far as I am concerned, when I have to add a text to a math formula I use \mbox, as in the example \startformula A := \left\{f : {\Bbb R}^2 \longrightarrow {\Bbb R} \; ; \; f \mbox{ is measurable and } \int_{{\Bbb R}^2}|f(x)|dx < \infty \right\}. \stopformul

Re: [NTG-context] text in mathematics

Hi Alan, 1. The correct way to use \mathrm is {\mathrm ...} because it is a switch like \rm for text mode. 2. \mathrm is the wrong method to write text in formulas because the command changes only the math alphabet. This means no ligatures, kerning or other characters like umlauts. 3. The

[NTG-context] text in mathematics

Hello ConTeXt users, Does it drive you crazy to see TeX users write $t = time$? (I see this all of the time by LaTeX users in Beamer presentations.) One can do better writing $t = {\rm time}$ (maybe) or in ConTeXt $t = \mathrm{time}$. Sometimes, too, I might write $t = \text{time}$. We also have
