Re: [NTG-context] \sub conflict with my def
Thanks, Hans! Appending to \everymathematics is a powerful trick, which I will not overuse. -Gavin > On Jan 12, 2022, at 12:14 PM, Hans Hagen wrote: > > On 1/12/2022 7:34 PM, Gavin via ntg-context wrote: >> Hi List, >> I am converting problem sets from LaTeX to ConTeXt and ran into a puzzling >> problem.

[NTG-context] \sub conflict with my def
Hi List, I am converting problem sets from LaTeX to ConTeXt and ran into a puzzling problem. I define \sub to produce subscript text in math mode. (See definition below.) This worked for my ConTeXt book, but fails in the problem sets because in ConTeXt \sub is a special item command, and I use itemize to number problems. Obviously, I can rename my \sub command, but it is already used in hundreds of problems and solutions that I am converting. Is there a way to get my \sub to work in an itemize? I only need it in math mode. I will never use \sub for its ConTeXt itemizing purpose. Thanks! Gavin \define[1]\sub{_{\text{\rm\tf#1}}} \starttext $E\sub{final}$ is the final energy, but not in an itemize: \startitemize \item $E_{\text{\rm final}}$ is the final energy. \item $E\sub{final}$ is a mess. \stopitemize \stoptext ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
