Degree sign

Degree sign

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

is there a "canonical" way to obtain a degree sign?  I'd best like it
to work in both text and math mode, and not use UTF-8 but some TeX-y
\command (like \degree or so).

Best

\textdegree (see char-def.lua for example)

Thanks!

You might want to put this here:
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/22086/macro-for-degree-symbol to
keep up with Aditya's tradition of providing ConTeXt answers to LaTeX
questions;).

With something like:
    "If you switch to ConTeXt, \textdegree will work in both text and
math mode."
? ;) ;) ;)

Well... kinda... yes. ;P

You might want to look here for inspiration:

http://tex.stackexchange.com/users/323/aditya?tab=answers

(Clarification: joking aside, I guess that Aditya's habit of giving
ConTeXt answers to LaTeX questions on TeX.SE is really great, since
it allows to spread the word about ConTeXt, and also may help ConTeXt
users.)
