Typing CO_2 easily












0















I'm writing my dissertation and that involves typing a lot of $mathrm{CO_2}$. I'd like to make a macro for it that's a lot easier to type, but if I put newcommand{co2}{mathrm{CO_2}}, for example, it gives me the error that mathrm can only be used in math mode. But using newcommand{co2}{$mathrm{CO_2}$} doesn't work either.



Is there a way for me to make a macro that makes typing CO_2 easier, even if it doesn't use mathrm?

            A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

            Image
            0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
