One can have text translations on MacOS, for example, "…" is translated into “…”, and as an experiment, I have set |-> translated into ↦. (Xcode does not translate, though.) But the GUI is cumbersome and there may be risk for errors, for example in a computer language where -> should be exactly that instead of →. Also, the characters have the advantage that they off-load human memory. :-) ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
