I'm trying to have the edition of a book typeset as a superscript, small number. In my setuppublicationlayout[book], I tried this: \insertedition{ \high\bgroup\tfxx}{\egroup}{ }% which seemed like a good idea when I wrote it, but it isn't working; I get the number in tiny font size, but it isn't raised. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thomas

Your problem is that \high expects an argument enclosed in braces, so you have to give it that. This is a bit more complicated, but should work: \insertedition{ \setbox2=\hbox\bgroup\tfxx}{\egroup\high{\box2}}{ }% Taco
