What about an analog of "ucs" LaTeX package, when Unicode math subscripts (and other symbols) in TeX file are replaced by "\sub{3}" etc., regardless of the font used for typesetting?
the reverse mapping is doable and on the agenda (normally i do such things when i run into it in a project)
It will give WYSIWYG-like appearance of the input file on the screen in the editor using Unicode font and will not bring the mess deep into ConTeXt?
well, editors is another case as not all fonts used in editors have such characters so your file becomes quite unportable unless the editor implements some fallback mechanism there's also a subscript font feature but often such features are implemented incomplete in fonts (like frac) and quite unuseable unless more logic in the engine is added (again, something that i will look into when i have a reason)
Is such thing doable? (Not making a set of mappings for presonal use, but proper package for public consumption?)
it would be core functionality as it involved manupulating the internal math node lists Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
