moved to [[Math/stackers]]
 
 
ConTeXt has a nice structure called {{code|1=mathstackers}} in order to define new math commands in which some characters are stacked over another one. For more information refer to {{src|math-stc.mkiv}}.
 
 
 
The two command {{code|1=\mathover[symbol]{}{}}} and {{code|\mathunder[symbol]{}{}}} are built and can be used directly. However one may define one's own commands.
 
 
 
A typical example is when you want to put a small circle on top of a letter (as one would when defining the topological interior of a set…).
 
To do so we define first a new stacker named here {{code|1=MySymbol}}, and then invoking that with {{code|1=\definemathover}} we define two new commands {{code|1=\interior}} and {{code|1=\mystarred}} which can be used in math mode.
 
 
 
<texcode>
 
\definemathstackers[MySymbol]
 
[voffset=-.3\mathexheight,
 
hoffset=\zeropoint,
 
mathclass=ord,
 
topoffset=.4\mathemwidth, % poor man's italic correction
 
middlecommand=\mathematics]
 
 
 
\definemathover[MySymbol][interior]["2218] %this a small circle
 
\definemathover[MySymbol][mystarred]["2717] % this is an asterisk
 
\starttext
 
 
 
Here is the new command \type{\interior{K}}: $\interior{K}$. Compare this to \type{\mathring{K}}: $\mathring{K}$.
 
 
 
Here is the new command \type{\mystarred{K}}: $\mystarred{K}$.
 
 
 
Here are the built-in commands \type{\mathover} and \type{\mathunder}:
 
 
 
$\mathover[symbol]{"2217}{A}$, % 2217 is a circle
 
$\mathover[symbol]{"2218}{A}$, % 2218 is an asterisk
 
$\mathover[symbol]{"2219}{A}$, % 2219 is a bullet
 
$\mathunder[symbol]{"2217}{A}$,
 
$\mathunder[symbol]{"2218}{A}$,
 
$\mathunder[symbol]{"2219}{A}$.
 
 
 
 
 
\stoptext
 
</texcode>
 
When typeset in {{code|1=mkiv}} one can see that the command {{code|1=\interior{K}}} shows the letter K with a small circle above it.
