Double subscript
I have some macros whose expansion generates something like:
documentclass{amsart}
begin{document}
({T_2}_k)
end{document}
This compiles fine; technically there's a double subscript, but the braces hide it from TeX. However, under some circumstances, the macros generate something like:
documentclass{amsart}
begin{document}
({widetilde T_2}_k)
end{document}
This generates the error
! Double subscript.
l.3 ({widetilde T_2}_
k)
?
If I were generating the text directly, I could just do (widetilde T_{2k}) or similar, but that's not an option here.
Question 1. Why does the first document compile, and the second generate an error?
Question 2. Without changing the definitions of the macros, is there any way to make something like
documentclass{amsart}
newcommandmacroa{widetilde T_2}
newcommandmacrob[1]{#1_k}
begin{document}
(macrobmacroa)
end{document}
compile—e.g., by adding braces, as would work if the first definition were instead:
documentclass{amsart}
newcommandmacroa{T_2}
newcommandmacrob[1]{#1_k}
begin{document}
(macrob{{macroa}})
end{document}
?
