Replacing \ensuremath above with \mathematics gives an error (both attempts):
\newcommand{\bit}[2]{\mathematics{\hbox{\tf #1}_\hbox{\tf #2}}} \newcommand{\bit}[2]{\mathematics{{\hbox{\tf #1}_\hbox{\tf #2}}}}

This is probably not satisfying, because you probably want to get new mathematics commands working, but if this is to be used solely in text, you could use (or expand to): b\low{off} \low (and \hi and \lohi) look like they work robustly in both math and text modes. I'm a bit confused by you using \newcommand in your (ConTeXt?) examples, though... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

I'll see. I wonder if it will look the same. Especially in terms of font. Do I get the same font in both sides? Do I get the same kerning?

Yes, strange, isn't it? It just works. I copied one accidentally over and it worked. So I kept using it. G

you now say something like <text>_\hbox and since _ kind of takes an argument, it gets an hbox only; you need <text>_{\hbox{..}} as in: \def\bit#1#2{\mathematics{\hbox{\tf#1}_{\hbox{\tf#2}}}} \bit{1}{2} ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
