Hello, (La)Tex-hackers.
I currently have a macro that makes a very nice "C++" in normalsize:
\def\CC{\mbox{C\hspace{-.05em}\raisebox{.4ex}{\tiny\bf ++}\ }}
But as the macro uses \tiny, its unfortunately not "scalable", so that
I could use it in a \chapter{ .. }.
Does anyone have an idea for making this C++ scaleable ?
