− | == Changing the number of columns ==
| |
− | | |
− | The above equations were aligned at <code>=</code>. Suppose you also want the <code>+</code> to align. Well, this is simple in context, simply specify the number of columns with <code>\startalign</code>

− | == Alignment of each column ==
| |
− | If you want more control over the formatting, and want the middle column to be center aligned, you can do that by
| |
− | | |
− | <context source=yes>
| |
− | \startformula \startalign[n=3,align={right,middle,left}]
| |
− | \NC v \NC = u \NC+ at \NR

− | \NC h \NC= ut \NC+ \frac12 gt^2 \NR

− | \stopalign \stopformula

| |

− | This mechanism allows fancier alignments like

− | \startformula \startalign[n=4,align={left,right,middle,left}]
| |
− | \NC \text{We have} \quad \NC v \NC = u \NC+ at \NR

− | == Working with equation numbering ==
| |
− | | |
− | aligned equations can be numbered by placing a tag after {{cmd|NR}}

− | \placeformula \startformula \startalign
| |
− | \NC v \NC = u + at \NR[eq:v]
| |
− | \NC h \NC = ut + \frac12 gt^2 \NR[eq:h]
| |
− | \stopalign \stopformula
| |
− | Equation~(\in[eq:v]) tells the final velocity after time~$t$ and equation~(\in[eq:h]) tells the distance travelled in time~$t$.
| |
− | </context>
| |
− | | |
− | The numbering can be changed to a subformula style using {{cmd|placesubformula}} instead of {{cmd|placeformula}} and numbering the subformulas using {{cmd|NR|2=[+][a]}}, {{cmd|NR|2=[+][b]}}, … instead:

| |
− | \setuplayout[scale=0.8,width=13cm]
| |
− | \placesubformula \startformula \startalign
| |
− | \NC v \NC = u + at \NR[+][eq:v]
| |
− | \NC h \NC = ut + \frac12 gt^2 \NR[+][eq:h]
| |
− | \stopalign \stopformula
| |
− | Equation~(\in[eq:v]) tells the final velocity after time~$t$ and equation (\in[eq:h]) tells the distance travelled in time~$t$.

− | == Defining new alignment structures ==
| |
− | | |
− | New alignment can be defined using {{cmd|definemathalignment}}. For example, to emulate <code>gather</code> environment of amsmath, we can use
| |
− | | |
− | <context source=yes>
| |
− | \definemathalignment
| |
− | [gather]
| |
− | [n=1,align={middle}]
| |
− | | |
− | \startformula \startgather
| |
− | \NC ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \NR
| |
− | \NC \text{roots} = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \NR
| |
− | \stopgather \stopformula
| |
− | | |
− | </context>

− | == Cases ==
| |
− | | |
− | Context provides a {{cmd|startmathcases}} {{cmd|stopmathcases}} pair to make it easy to get cases.
| |
− | | |
− | <context source=yes text="gives">
| |
− | \startformula
| |
− | f(x) = \startmathcases
| |
− | \NC x, \NC if $0 \le x \le \frac12$ \NR
| |
− | \NC 1-x ,\NC if $\frac12 \le x \le 1$ \NR
| |
− | \stopmathcases
| |
− | \stopformula
| |
− | </context>
| |
− | | |
− | The cases environment consists of two columns, separated by {{cmd|NC}}. The second column is by default in text mode. An alternative way of getting the same result is to define the second column as a mathcolumn with {{cmd|MC}} like so:
| |
− | | |
− | <texcode>
| |
− | \startformula
| |
− | f(x) = \startmathcases
| |
− | \NC x, \MC \text{if } 0 \le x \le \frac12 \NR
| |
− | \NC 1-x ,\MC \text{if } \frac12 \le x \le 1 \NR
| |
− | \stopmathcases
| |
− | \stopformula
| |
− | </texcode>
| |
− | | |
− | Each line must end with a {{cmd|NR}}.
