These activate a smaller and even more smaller %D font than the current one and adapt themselves to the %D current alternative, so when \type{\bf} is active, %D \type{\tx} gives a smaller boldface, which in turn can be %D called directly by \type{\bfx}. %D %D These two smaller alternatives are specified by the bodyfont %D environment and therefore not necessarily have similar sizes %D as \type{\scriptsize} and \type{\scriptscriptsize}. The main %D reason for this incompatibility (which can easily be undone) %D lays in the fact that we often want a bit bigger characters %D than in math mode. In \CONTEXT\ for instance the \type{\tx} %D and \type{\txx} commands are used for surrogate %D \cap{smallcaps} which support both nesting and alternatives, %D like in {\bf\cap{a \cap{small} world}}, which was typeset by %D %D \starttyping %D \bf\cap{a \cap{small} world} %D \stoptyping %D %D And compare $\rm \scriptstyle THIS$ with the slightly larger %D \cap{THIS}: \ruledhbox{$\rm \scriptstyle scriptstyle: THIS$} %D or \ruledhbox{\cap{x style: THIS}} makes a big difference.
