[XeTeX] Need some input about \newcommand to create alias

[Wilfred van Rooijen]

Hey, interesting. I tried and I get:

This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.9995.2 (TeX Live 2009) (format=xelatex 2009.11.19)  28 NOV 2009 15:25

! Emergency stop.
l.5 Test of subscripting: CO\textsubscript
                                          {2}.
End of file on the terminal!

I was under the impression that \textsubscript (and the \textsuperscript) were defined in the memoir class. Well, according to the manual, they are defined in the memoir class. Given that xelatex uses the same class files as "normal" latex I doubt if xelatex has a \textsubscript by default.

Cheers,
Wilfred
