This manual is not a systematic discussion about math in \CONTEXT\ but more a
collection of wrap|-|ups. The file also serves as testcase. The content can
change over time and can also serve as a trigger for discussions on the mailing
list. Content gets added sort of random. Suggestions are welcome.

We discuss high level as well as low level commands. Some of the low level
commands (primitives) are wrapped in high level commands but you can of course
always revert to bare \TEX. I won't go into much detail about typesetting
beautiful math, for that I refer to the \TEX book. \footnote {The most beautiful
math is not typeset by \TEX\ anyway: just search on YouTube for \quotation
{Mathematics} by Hollie McNish, the Metropole Orkest (conducted by Jules Buckley)
and Martin Pyper.}

{\em This version has been written for \MKIV\ but also partially applies to
\MKXL, where we redid some math, using the more advanced \LUAMETATEX\ features.
At some point we will update this manual covering aspects of rendering that most
users can safely ignore. There is a dedicated extensive one available already!}
