Hi,
How would I go about getting subscripts to stay at the same depth? An
example of the problem I'm having is:
\starttext
% Notice the b's are not aligned
$a_b' a_b$
\stoptext
I'm only just learning ConTeXt and TeX, so I'm not sure what I'd need to
change to fix this.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
As far as I can say from my own experience TeX, that is both plain TeX and ConTeXt, treat the subscripts differently according to whether there is also a superscript or not: please see the following examples:
\starttext
Compare $a_{b}'a_{b}$ and $a_{b}'a_{b}^{}$
\stoptext
Best regards: OK

\starttext
$a_b' a_b^{}$
\stoptext
It's a feature of tex to treat single scripts differently.

Thanks for the tip. I assume adjusting the depth of all subscripts in the
document would require a somewhat extensive knowledge of TeX font handling?
(that is, ConTeXt doesn't provide macros for it, I should learn more TeX if
I want to know how to do that?)

It requires messing around with some math font parameters but that can
have side effects. It is on the agenda for luatex to provide a special
math variant for this (e.g. handy for chemistry).
