Typing CO_2 easily
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?

If this will only be used in text mode,newcommand{coo}{COtextsubscript{2}}will work. If you are using the macro in both math and text, you could usenewcommand{coo}{ensuremath{mathrm{CO_2}}}. Note, that you need a trailing slash and space in the text call:sometext coo sometext
