[NTG-context] Problems with superscripts and macros

17 Nov 2003

      Hello

I am having some big problems with superscripts. When I type:

-20$^\circ$C

I get the expected 20 degrees Celcius (-20oC)

However if I put the same sequence in a macro

\def\celcius{$^\circ$C}
-20\celsius\ Dewpoint
-20\celsius Dewpoint

I get as result:

-20  oCDewpoint
-20DoCewpoint

Where o symbolizes the degree symbol.

What is going on, and more importantly how to solve it.

Best Regards,

Frank
