-TeX handles math spacing by breaking a formula into parts, and assigning each of those parts a role such as 'Ord' (a variable or number) or 'Rel' (equality, larger than, et cetera). For each combination of roles, it then looks up the spacing appropriate between them in a table. These are the roles:
+moved to [[Math/basic#Spacing]]
-{|
-| Ord || e.g. ''4'' or ''a'' or ''x<sup>2</sup>''
-|-
-| Op || Unary operators such as ''sin'' or ''ln''.
-|-
-| Bin || Binary operators such as '+'
-|-
-| Rel || Relationships such as '=' or '>' or '\implies'
-|-
-| Open || open brackets of any kind
-|-
-| Close || closing brackets of any kind
-|-
-| Punct || Punctuation: digit separators like '.' or ','.
-|-
-| Inner || Fractions are inner. What else is inner?
-|-
-|}
-To set up e.g. the spacing between ordinal items, do as follows:
- \startsetups math:morespacing
-     \ordordspacing\textstyle 1mu plus .5mu minus .25mu\relax
- \stopsetups
- \setupmathematics
-   [setups=math:morespacing]
