Hello Wolfgang,

thanks a lot for the very nice code :) :) :)

The second example (H_2^+) does not return expected result - it should have been
   H\lohi{2}{+}
instead, but I don't require such cases for the current document, so I
guess that I'll just replace the old macro with this one for now in
order not to get distracted with TeX problems too much :)

Thanks again,
    Mojca
