Achieving the effect of \overset outside math mode
Dear list, I don't have a MWE per se, but as the title suggests, I want to be able to achieve the effect of \overset outside math mode. As I understand, \overset itself is implemented using \mathop and \limits. Currently to achieve this I have defined some macros using \offset thus : \define[1]\pabv{\dontleavehmode\offset[width=0em,y=-16pt,x=3pt]{#1}} Unfortunately, I have to hard code the x values. So I have define several such macros with different offsets. Not an elegant solution, but it is what I could muster. So, my objective is to place a smaller piece of text above another larger piece of text so that the text above is centered w.r.t the text below. Please advise. Thanks, kauśika

I was able to get some working examples using the second answer here: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/42456/creating-non-math-mode-substit... But, I was just curious if there is a more elegant ConTeXt specific way to achieve this. Thanks, kauśika

Dear Rik, First of all, thank you for the quick response! Wow! With the very first search result itself, I was able to achieve what I wanted. ConTeXt is a gift that keeps on giving! Simply fantastic! This made my day! Many thanks, kauśika

Wolfgang has a ruby module, which provides this feature. https://ctan.org/pkg/context-ruby Doc: https://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/context/contrib/context-ruby/doc/context... Aditya

Use the built-in \ruby function, the module broke at some point after Hans added a similar function himself and I never fixed my own code afterwards. Wolfgang

Thanks Aditya and Wolfgang! After following Rik's initial response, I am now using the \ruby function in LMTX to achieve this. Thanks, kauśika
