\def\dist#1{d(\sigma_g(#1), \sigma_h(#1))} or something more context way: \define[1]\dist{d(\sigma_g(#1), \sigma_h(#1))} On Tue, May 12, 2009 at 1:05 AM, Xan wrote:

Hi,

In latex is wonderful be able to make abreviatures like:

\newcommand{\dist}[1]{d(\sigma_g(#1), \sigma_h(#1))}

and use like $\dist{t}$, ... for not typing all the text.

What is the ConTeXt version of that? Please CC mail me.

Thanks a lot, Xan. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki!
