Hi Mikael, Thanks a lot! It's indeed exactly what I was looking for! I'll replace my hack-y solution with a link to that section in the wiki. Cheers, Florent Le jeu. 24 avr. 2025 à 10:36, Mikael Sundqvist a écrit :

Hi!

Assuming you are using context lmtx, does section 2.7 in https://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/mathincontext-screen.pdf help you?

Hi,

I was going through the ‘Mathematics/Mathematical glyphs’ section of the

wiki. Unless I am missing something, the first method proposed in the section ‘Subscript and superscript’ ( https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Mathematics/Mathematical_glyphs#Subscript_and...) to align sub- and superscripts does not seem to align them with ConTeXt 2025.04.01. The following example:

...

\starttext $T^a_b^c$ $T^a{}_b{}^c{}$ \stoptext

produces (unless my eyes are deceiving me) twice the same output, with

the subscript b below a.

...

One possible workaround is to add 0-width spaces after indices (I just

added this workaround to the wiki so that it shows one working option). This seems a bit of a hack, though (and not the easiest to type with most keyboards), and the results are not perfect (the space between the a and c looks a bit too wide to me; although that is probably subjective, and can be resolved by manually adding \kern s).

...

Would anyone know if there is a better (easier to type and/or producing

a better result without having to manually add negative \kern s) solution?

...

Cheers, Florent

Thanks a lot Hans for the explanation! Cheers, Florent Le jeu. 24 avr. 2025 à 10:53, Hans Hagen a écrit :

fwiw: {} in context in math does not create an atom, it is just grouping so here it does nothing; we have a different mechanism for handling multiple successive scripts (plus control over spacing)
