Hello,
I did not try to analyze how the following macros work (they are too complex), but they somehow fail in mkiv. (I don't need the "F" kerning, so that portion of code may go away, but the macro itself is very very handy.)
All I want is to have a macro that "converts" _{...} into \low{...} and ^{...} into \high{...} (or possibly enable using both at the same time).
\startluacode
thirddata = thirddata or { }
function thirddata.molecule(text) text = string.gsub(text,"_","\\low") text = string.gsub(text,"%^","\\high") tex.sprint(text) end
\stopluacode
\def\molecule#1{\ctxlua{thirddata.molecule('#1')}}
\starttext \molecule{H_2SO_4} \molecule{H_2^+} \stoptext
Hello Wolfgang, thanks a lot for the very nice code :) :) :) The second example (H_2^+) does not return expected result - it should have been H\lohi{2}{+} instead, but I don't require such cases for the current document, so I guess that I'll just replace the old macro with this one for now in order not to get distracted with TeX problems too much :) Thanks again, Mojca
