I'm afraid this is fairly obvious and has been asked many times, but I could not find the answer. I am having trouble getting an ampersand in a displayed formula in ConTeXt. I tried the obvious \&
, and it seems fine outside math, i.e. this works:
\starttext
$\Pr$ (A \& B)
\stoptext
but this does not:
\starttext
\startformula
\Pr (A \& B)
\stopformula
\stoptext
(and using an unescaped '&' fails as well, unsurprisingly). Of course I could use \wedge
or the word "and", but if at all possible I'd rather use an ampersand.

By default there is no such command in math mode. However, you can switch to text mode where
\&
is available:If you use
\asciimode
you don't even need the backslash:To avoid wrapping the ampersand in
\text
add the following code to your document. It redefines\&
for both, inline and display math.
