Dear ConTeXt folks, is it expected that \right)² is not recognized as \right)^2? \starttext Using ^2: \placeformula \startformula \left( a + b \right)^2 = a² + 2ab + b² \stopformula \placeformula \startformula \left( a + \frac72 \right)^2 \stopformula Using ². The first example does not display the problem that well because the parenthesis are too small: \placeformula \startformula \left( a + b \right)² = a² + 2ab + b² \stopformula \placeformula \startformula \left( n + \frac72 \right)² \stopformula \stoptext Please find the example also attached. Thanks, Paul

Yes it is, to enable this feature you need the “mathcrap” module.
Thank you for the quick answer, but ² is still not put at the correct height when used like `\right)²`. Thanks, Paul

Looking at the mathcrap module (nice name :p), it seems the ² (and other superscript characters) is defined as {\normalsuperscript{2}} and the extra grouping makes the superscript to be applied to an empty base not the brace. Not sure if removing that extra group is safe or not (\normalsuperscript{2} on its own seems to be safe). Regards, Khaled

not grouping gives an error on $a₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉₋₌₊$ (maybe we could have {}\normal... but on the other hand, this module is not really needed as mkiv already recognizes these funny chars anyway Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
