Re: [O] unicode in org-mode
`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. ,Douglas Douglas Lewan Shubert Ticketing (201) 489-8600 ext 224 When I do good, I feel good.

[O] unicode in org-mode
For notes (and other things) I tend to use non-ASCII characters fairly freely. (Among them the most common are: ∃ -- there is, ∀ -- every, ∈ -- in, ∴ -- therefore, ≡, arrows, bullets, checks, subscripts, superscripts, etc.) It would be nice to be able to configure org-mode to handle them nicely. (Where 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. ,Douglas Douglas Lewan Shubert Ticketing (201) 489-8600 ext 224 When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad and that's my religion. - Abraham Lincoln

Re: [O] unicode in org-mode
I had not known about org-entities-user. (New user. I'm barely through the Guide.) The documentation certainly looks good.
