math: formula alignment: confusion about `left` and `right` alignment
Dear ConTeXt folks, looking at the Wiki page about changing the formula alignment [1] and testing the following minimal example, which is also attached, I would have thought that `align=right` would mean, that the formula is put to the right side. But is aligned to the left side instead. --- 8< --- minimal example --- >8 --- \starttext Right align. \setupformulas[align=right] \startformula ℕ ⊂ ℝ \stopformula Left align. \setupformulas[align=left] \startformula ℝ ⊂ ℂ \stopformula \stoptext --- 8< --- minimal example --- >8 --- What is wrong with the way I am looking at this? Searching for »latex align formula left right« I could not find an answer either. Thanks, Paul [1] http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Math/Display#Changing_Formula_alignment

Nothing; the reasons are historical. When defining "left" and "right", the author thought of "raggedleft" (the text is ragged on the left) instead of "flushleft". To avoid confusion, you may want to use "flushleft" and "flushright" explicitly. Cheers, ~~ Ondra
