%D [The examples below are in english and don't process in the
%D  documentation style, which will be english some day.]
%D
%D Normally a formula is centered, but in case you want to
%D align it left or right, you can set up formulas to behave
%D that way. Normally a formula will adapt is left indentation
%D to the environment:
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \fakewords{20}{40}\epar
%D \startitemize
%D \item \fakewords{20}{40}\epar
%D       \placeformula \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \item \fakewords{20}{40}\epar
%D \stopitemize
%D \fakewords{20}{40}\epar
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D % \getbuffer
%D
%D In the next examples we explicitly align formulas to the
%D left (\type {\raggedleft}), center and right (\type
%D {\raggedright}):
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \setupformulas[align=left]
%D \startformula\fakeformula\stopformula
%D \setupformulas[align=middle]
%D \startformula\fakeformula\stopformula
%D \setupformulas[align=right]
%D \startformula\fakeformula\stopformula
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D Or in print:
%D
%D % {\getbuffer}
%D
%D With formula numbers these formulas look as follows:
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \setupformulas[align=left]
%D \placeformula \startformula\fakeformula\stopformula
%D \setupformulas[align=middle]
%D \placeformula \startformula\fakeformula\stopformula
%D \setupformulas[align=right]
%D \placeformula \startformula\fakeformula\stopformula
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D % {\getbuffer}
%D
%D This was keyed in as:
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D When tracing is turned on (\type {\tracemathtrue}) you can
%D visualize the bounding box of the formula,
%D
%D % {\tracemathtrue\getbuffer}
%D
%D As you can see, the dimensions are the natural ones, but if
%D needed you can force a normalized line:
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \setupformulas[strut=yes]
%D \placeformula \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer
%D
%D This time we get a more spacy result.
%D
%D % {\tracemathtrue\getbuffer}
%D
%D We will now show a couple of more settings and combinations
%D of settings. In centered formulas, the number takes no space
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \setupformulas[align=middle]
%D \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \placeformula \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer % {\tracemathtrue\getbuffer}
%D
%D You can influence the placement of the whole box with the
%D parameters \type {leftmargin} and \type {rightmargin}.
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \setupformulas[align=right,leftmargin=3em]
%D \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \placeformula \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D
%D \setupformulas[align=left,rightmargin=1em]
%D \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \placeformula \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer % {\tracemathtrue\getbuffer}
%D
%D You can also inherit the margin from the environment.
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \setupformulas[align=right,margin=standard]
%D \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \placeformula \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer % {\tracemathtrue\getbuffer}
%D
%D The distance between the formula and the number is only
%D applied when the formula is left or right aligned.
%D
%D \startbuffer
%D \setupformulas[align=left,distance=2em]
%D \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula
%D \placeformula \startformula \fakeformula \stopformula

%D \macros
%D   {restoremathstyle}
%D
%D We can pick up the current math style by calling \type
%D {\restoremathstyle}.

\def\restoremathstyle
  {\ifmmode
     \ifcase\supersubmode
       \textstyle
     \or
       \scriptstyle
     \else
       \scriptscriptstyle
     \fi
   \fi}

%D \macros
%D   {mathstyle}
%D
%D If one want to be sure that something is typeset in the
%D appropriate style, \type {\mathstyle} can be used:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \mathstyle{something}
%D \stoptyping

\def\mathstyle#1%
  {\mathchoice
     {\displaystyle     #1}%
     {\textstyle        #1}%
     {\scriptstyle      #1}%
     {\scriptscriptstyle#1}}

%D Something similar can be used in the (re|)|definition
%D of \type {\text}. This version is a variation on the one
%D in the math module (see \type{m-math} and|/|or \type
%D {m-newmat}).

\unexpanded\def\mathtext
  {\mathortext\domathtext\hbox}

\def\domathtext#1%
  {\mathchoice
     {\dodomathtext\displaystyle\textface        {#1}}%
     {\dodomathtext\textstyle   \textface        {#1}}%
     {\dodomathtext\textstyle   \scriptface      {#1}}%
     {\dodomathtext\textstyle   \scriptscriptface{#1}}}

\def\dodomathtext#1#2#3% no \everymath !
 %{\hbox{\everymath{#1}\switchtobodyfont  [#2]#3}} % 15 sec
  {\hbox{\everymath{#1}\setcurrentfontbody{#2}#3}} %  3 sec (no math)

%D Because we may overload \type {\text} in other (structuring)
%D macros, we say:

\appendtoks \let\text\mathtext \to \everymathematics

%D \macros
%D   {frac, xfrac, xxfrac}
%D
%D This is another one Tobias asked for. It replaces the
%D primitive \type {\over}. We also take the opportunity to
%D handle math style restoring, which makes sure units and
%D chemicals come out ok.
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \def\frac#1#2%
%D   {\relax
%D    \ifmmode
%D       {{\mathstyle{#1}}\over{\mathstyle{#2}}}%
%D    \else
%D       $\frac{#1}{#2}$%
%D    \fi}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Better is:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \def\frac#1#2%
%D   {\relax\mathematics{{{\mathstyle{#1}}\over{\mathstyle{#2}}}}}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D The \type {\frac} macro kind of replaces the awkward \type
%D {\over} primitive. Say that we have the following formulas:
%D
%D \startbuffer[sample]
%D test $\frac  {1}{2}$ test $$1 + \frac  {1}{2} = 1.5$$
%D test $\xfrac {1}{2}$ test $$1 + \xfrac {1}{2} = 1.5$$
%D test $\xxfrac{1}{2}$ test $$1 + \xxfrac{1}{2} = 1.5$$
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer[sample]
%D
%D With the most straightforward definitions, we get:
%D
%D \startbuffer[code]
%D \def\dofrac#1#2#3{\relax\mathematics{{{#1{#2}}\over{#1{#3}}}}}
%D
%D \def\frac  {\dofrac\mathstyle}
%D \def\xfrac {\dofrac\scriptstyle}
%D \def\xxfrac{\dofrac\scriptscriptstyle}
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer[code] \getbuffer[code,sample]
%D
%D Since this does not work well, we can try:
%D
%D \startbuffer[code]
%D \def\xfrac #1#2{\hbox{$\dofrac\scriptstyle      {#1}{#2}$}}
%D \def\xxfrac#1#2{\hbox{$\dofrac\scriptscriptstyle{#1}{#2}$}}
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer[code] \getbuffer[code,sample]
%D
%D This for sure looks better than:
%D
%D \startbuffer[code]
%D \def\xfrac #1#2{{\scriptstyle      \dofrac\relax{#1}{#2}}}
%D \def\xxfrac#1#2{{\scriptscriptstyle\dofrac\relax{#1}{#2}}}
%D \stopbuffer
%D
%D \typebuffer[code] \getbuffer[code,sample]
%D
%D So we stick to the next definitions (watch the local
%D overloading of \type {\xfrac}).

\def\dofrac#1#2#3{\relax\mathematics{{{#1{#2}}\over{#1{#3}}}}}

\def\frac      {\dofrac\mathstyle}
\def\xfrac #1#2{\begingroup
                \let\xfrac\xxfrac
                \dofrac\scriptstyle{#1}{#2}%
                \endgroup}
\def\xxfrac#1#2{\begingroup
                \dofrac\scriptscriptstyle{#1}{#2}%
                \endgroup}

%D The \type {xx} variant looks still ugly, so maybe it's
%D best to say:

\def\xxfrac#1#2{\begingroup
                \dofrac\scriptscriptstyle
                  {#1}{\raise.25ex\hbox{$\scriptscriptstyle#2$}}%
                \endgroup}

%D Something low level for scientific calculator notation:

\def\scinot#1#2%
  {#1\times10^{#2}}

%D The next macro, \type {\ch}, is \PPCHTEX\ aware. In
%D formulas one can therefore best use \type {\ch} instead of
%D \type {\chemical}, especially in fractions.

\ifx\mathstyle\undefined
  \let\mathstyle\relax
\fi

\def\ch#1%
  {\ifx\@@chemicalletter\undefined
     \mathstyle{\rm#1}%
   \else
     \dosetsubscripts
     \mathstyle{\@@chemicalletter{#1}}%
     \doresetsubscripts
   \fi}

%D \macros
%D   {/}
%D
%D Just to be sure, we restore the behavior of some typical
%D math characters.
