+\startchapter[title=Vertical spacing]
+
+The low level way to input inline math in \TEX\ is
+
+\starttyping
+$ e = mc^2 $
+\stoptyping
+
+while display math can be entered like:
+
+\starttyping
+$$ e = mc^2 $$
+\stoptyping
+
+The inline method is still valid, but for display math the \type {$$} method
+should not be used. This has to do with the fact that we want to control spacing
+in a consistent way. In \CONTEXT\ the vertical spacing model is rather stable
+although in \MKIV\ the implementation is quite different. It has always been a
+challenge to let this mechanism work well with space round display formulas. This
+has to do with the fact that (in the kind of documents that we have to produce)
+interaction with already present spacing is somewhat tricky.
+
+Of course much can be achieved in \TEX\ but in \CONTEXT\ we need to have control
+over the many mechanisms that can interact. Given the way \TEX\ handles space
+around display math there is no real robust solution possible that gives visually
+consistent space in all cases so that is why we basically disable the existing
+spacing model. Disabling is easier in \LUATEX\ and recent versions of \MKIV\ have
+been adapted to that.
+
+In pure \TEX\ what happens is this:
+
+\startbuffer
+$$ x $$
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer \par \start \showboxes \getbuffer \par \stop
+
+A horizontal box get added which triggers a baselineskip. Then the formula is put
+below it. We can get rid of that box with \type {\noindent}:
+
+\startbuffer
+\noindent $$ x $$
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer \par \start \showboxes \getbuffer \par \stop
+
+In addition (not shown here) vertical space is added before and after the formula
+and left- and rightskip on the edges. In fact typesetting display math goes like this:
+
+\startitemize[packed]
+ \startitem
+ typeset the formula using display mode and wrap it in a box
+ \stopitem
+ \startitem
+ add an equation number, if possible in the same line, otherwise on a line
+ below
+ \stopitem
+ \startitem
+ in the process center the formula using the available display width and
+ required display indentation
+ \stopitem
+ \startitem
+ add vertical space above and below (depending also in displays being
+ short in relation to the previous line
+ \stopitem
+ \startitem
+ at the same time also add penalties that determine the break across
+ pages
+ \stopitem
+\stopitemize
+
+Apart from the spacing around the formula and the equation number, typesetting is
+not different from:
+
+\starttyping
+\hbox {$ \displaystyle x $}
+\stoptyping
+
+This spacing around math is a sensitive issue. Because math itself can have a
+narrow band, for instance a lone $x$, or relative much depth, as with $y$, or
+both depth and height as in $(1,2)$ and $x^2 + y_2$ and because a preceding line
+can have no or little depth and a following line little height, the visual
+appearance can become inconsistent. The default approach is to force consistent
+spacing, but when needed we can implement variants.
+
+Spacing around display math is set up with \type {\setupformulas}:
+
+\starttyping
+ \setupformulas
+ [spacebefore=big,
+ spaceafter=big]
+\stoptyping
+
+When the whitespace is larger that setting wins because as usual the larger
+of blanks or whitespace wins.
+
+% \showdefinition[setupformula]
+% \showdefinition[setupmathematics]
+
+In \in {figures} [whitespace-no], \in {figures} [whitespace-medium] \in {and}
+[whitespace-big] we see how things interact. We show lines with and without
+maximum line height and depth (enforced by struts) alongside.

+Because we want to have control over the placement of the formula number but also
+want to be able to align the formula with the left or right edge of the text
+area, we don't use the native display handler by default. We still have a way to
+force this, but this is only for testing purposes. By default a formula is placed
+centered relative to the current text, including left and right margins.

+and the same with margins:

+\start \getbuffer[setting] \getbuffer[demo] \stop
+
+\page
+
+When the \type {margin} option is set to \type {standard} or \type {yes} the
+current indentation (when set) or left skip is added to the left side.

+\startchapter[title=Framing]
+
+The \type {\framed} macro is one of the core constructors in \CONTEXT\ and it's
+used all over the place. This macro is unlikely to change its behaviour and as it
+has evolved over years it comes with quite some options and some can interfere
+with the expectations one has. In general using this macro works out well but you
+need to keep an eye on using struts and alignment.
+
+\startbuffer
+\framed{$e=mc^2$}
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer
+
+The outcome of this is:
+
+\startlinecorrection \getbuffer \stoplinecorrection
+
+There is a bit of offset (that you can set) but also struts are added as can be
+seen when we visualize them:
+
+\startlinecorrection \showstruts \getbuffer \stoplinecorrection
+
+These struts can be disabled:
+
+\startbuffer
+\framed[strut=no]{$e=mc^2$}
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer
+
+Now the result is more tight.
+
+\startlinecorrection \showstruts \getbuffer \stoplinecorrection
+
+These struts are the way to get a consistent look and feel and are used
+frequently in \CONTEXT. We mention these struts because they get in the way when
+we frame a display formula. Let's first look at what happens when we
+just package a formula in a box:
+
+\startbuffer
+\vbox\bgroup
+ \startformula
+ e = mc^2
+ \stopformula
+\egroup
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer
+
+We get:
+
+\startlinecorrection \start \showmakeup \getbuffer \stop \stoplinecorrection
+
+Now there are a few properties of displaymath that one needs to keep in mind when
+messing around with them this way. First of all display math is meant to be used
+as part of the page stream. This means that spacing above and below is adapted to
+what comes before and after. It also means that, because formulas can be numbered,
+we have some settings that relate to horizontal placement.
+
+The default vertical spacing is easy to get rid of:
+
+\startbuffer
+\vbox\bgroup
+ \startformula[packed]
+ e = mc^2
+ \stopformula
+\egroup
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer
+
+This gives:
+
+\startlinecorrection \start \showmakeup \getbuffer \stop \stoplinecorrection
+
+Another handy keyword is \type {tight}:
+
+\startbuffer
+\vbox\bgroup
+ \startformula[tight]
+ e = mc^2
+ \stopformula
+\egroup
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer
+
+This gives:
+
+\startlinecorrection \start \showmakeup \getbuffer \stop \stoplinecorrection
+
+We can combine these two:
+
+\startbuffer
+\vbox\bgroup
+ \startformula[packed,tight]
+ e = mc^2
+ \stopformula
+\egroup
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer
+
+This gives:
+
+\startlinecorrection \start \showmakeup \getbuffer \stop \stoplinecorrection
+
+Just in case you wonder why we need to go through these troubles: keep in mind
+that we are wrapping something (math) that normally goes in a vertical list with
+text above and below.
+
+The \type {packed} and \type {tight} options can help when we want to wrap
+a formula in a frame:
+
+\startbuffer
+\framed
+ [strut=no]
+ {
+ \startformula[packed,tight]
+ e = mc^2
+ \stopformula
+ }
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer
+
+which renders as:
+
+\startlinecorrection \getbuffer \stoplinecorrection
+
+There is a dedicated math framed instance that is tuned to give better results
+and automatically switches to math mode:
+
+\startbuffer
+\mframed {
+ e = mc^2
+}
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer
+
+becomes:
+
+\startlinecorrection \getbuffer \stoplinecorrection
+
+Multiple formulas can be combined:
+
+\startbuffer
+\startformulas
+ \startformula
+ a + b = c
+ \stopformula
+ \startformula
+ d - e = f
+ \stopformula
+\stopformulas
+\stopbuffer
+
+\typebuffer
+
+We might add some more control in the future, but this is what you get:
+
+\startlinecorrection \getbuffer \stoplinecorrection
+
