Note: these are defined by the following lines in strc-mat.mkiv:
\setvalue{\e!start\v!formula}{\dostartformula{}} \setvalue{\e!stop \v!formula}{\dostopformula}
Example
\starttext
This is the first mathematical formula
\placeformula[First] \startformula \sin^2(t)^2 + \cos^2(t) = 1. \stopformula
This is another formula
\placeformula[eqn:tangent]
\startformula
\cos^2(t) = \frac{1}{1+\tan^2(t)}.
\stopformula
As one may see from relation~(\in[eqn:tangent]), $\cos(t)$ and $\sin(t)$ can be determined by $\tan(t)$\dots
This is the third formula
\placeformula[Pythagora] \startformula |a+b|^2 = |a|^2 + |b|^2 \stopformula
Clearly equality (\in[Pythagora]) holds for $a,b \in {\Bbb R}^n$ if and only if $(a|b) =0$, where the scalar product $(\cdot|\cdot)$ on ${\Bbb R}^n$ is defined to be
\startformula
(a|b) := a\cdot b =\sum_{j=1}^{n}a_jb_j, \qquad |a|^2 := (a|a).
\stopformula
(Note that the above equation is {\it not\/} numbered). \stoptext
