Just downloaded and tested, looks nice. Small bug: It's called lomihi, but the arguments are placed middle/high/low. For documentation/clarification, is the following correct? distance = extra kerning, distance between lomihi and preceding character. up = how much the {hi} arg is raised down = how much the {low} arg is lowered Support for the [left] keyword seems to have been dropped, but is still in the documentation comments. Perhaps instead support align=..., and turn distance= into kernbefore= and kernafter=? Sorry about not knowing enough to implement it myself.

Hi,

Since no one has offered a quick ConTeXt solution, I offer my usual -- a dumb Plain TeX solution:

\def\lomihi#1#2#3{${\scriptstyle{#2}}\limits_{#1}^{#3}$}

With the Computer Modern font, the top is a little further away from the middle than the bottom. It can be adjusted with something like

\def\lomihi#1#2#3{${\scriptstyle{#2}}\limits_{#1}^{\lower0.23pt\hbox{$\scriptstyle{#3}$}}$}

but this would probably have to be adjusted for each font and size.

You can use \framed:

\defineframed[lohimi][align=flushleft,location=middle,frame=off,foregroundstyle=\tx]

\starttext text \lohi{1}{2} text \lohimi{1\\2\\3} text \stoptext

Neat trick.

Wolfgang,

The next beta has:

\starttext

\definelow [MyLow] [style=\txx] \definehigh [MyHigh] [style=\txx] \definelowhigh [MyLoHi] [style=\txx] \definelowmidhigh[MyLoMiHi][style=\txx]

We have \ruledhbox{\low {L}} and \ruledhbox{\MyLow {L}} and \ruledhbox{\high {H}} and \ruledhbox{\MyHigh {H}} and \ruledhbox{\lohi {L}{H}} and \ruledhbox{\MyLoHi {L}{H}} and \ruledhbox{\lomihi{L}{M}{H}} and \ruledhbox{\MyLoMiHi{L}{M}{H}}.

\stoptext

So, we have low/high definable and clonable etc. Best check if the defaults are compatible. Valid parameters are 'up', 'down' and 'distance' (dimensions) and of course 'style' and 'color'.
