Strange error defining a macro with arguments for math mode
0
When I delete the second item, it compiles fine. However, with the second item, I get ERROR: Missing $ inserted and the math renders incorrectly:
documentclass[12pt]{article}
newcommand frob[2] {langle #1,#2 rangle_F}
begin{document}
begin{itemize}
item What I want: $
langle A,B rangle_F
geq
langle C,D rangle_F
$.
item What I get: $
frob{A,B}
geq
frob{A,B}
$.
end{itemize}
end{document}
Would appreciate any help with this issue!

Don't usefrobasfrob{A,B}but use it asfrob{A}{B}. Yourfrob-macro does process two arguments which are not comma-separated. As result it delivers something where the phrases delivered as arguments will be comma-separated. Maybe this confused you. ;-) If you dofrob{A,B}geq,frob's first undelimited argument will be formed from{A,B}andfrob's second undelimited argument will be formed fromgeq.
