Hi David, > So what is wrong with using \"var2"
That’s what I generally use — it requires extra typing, looks less attractive, looks (and is often colourized) different from variables without numbers, etc. > or \var.2 ? I was under the impression that mechanism has limitations? In any case, the drawbacks listed above hold here as well. I guess I’ll just stick with my standard workarounds. =) Thanks!
