Re: [O] unicode in org-mode

2012-12-10 Thread Doug Lewan
`org-entities' and `org-entities-user' come close.

They need a preceding `\', which detracts a little from reading for me. (Or 
course, I'm hardly using org-mode to its fullest. It really is for notes, just 
text.)

Still, it's a big help for the moment. Thanks, Sebastien.

[O] unicode in org-mode

2012-12-07 Thread Doug Lewan

(Among them the most common are: ∃ -- there is, ∀ -- every, ∈ -- in, ∴ -- 
therefore, ≡, arrows, bullets, checks, subscripts, superscripts, etc.)

nicely means in exactly the vague way that I want.)

(1) Bullets are for bullet lists. It would be nice if they could be interpreted 
as such.
(2) The other symbols (∃, ∀, etc.) are natural for LaTeX, but they would have 
to expand to things like \assuremath{\exists}.

Is there currently any way (short of hacking org-mode code) to accomplish this? 
If not, what is the official venue for feature requests?
I'm willing to help, but I can't do so at this address.

Thanks.

I had not known about org-entities-user. (New user. I'm barely through the 
Guide.)

The documentation certainly looks good. Thanks!
