I think that we should have \calligraphic for text calligraphic fonts only. For math, plain tex had \cal as a font switch, MkIV has \mathscript and \mathcal. I am not sure that we need another font switch in math.
I know, that in mkii \calligraphic is available in math mode, but I did not like that either. Since you are asking for my opinion, I think that it should go :-). For backward compatibility, we can add appropriate definition of \calligraphic to m-mkii module.
ok, just send me a patch then
While we are at this topic, I think that we should change the definitions of \mathbf, \mathtf, etc from being a font switch to being a grouped command (to be more in tune with ams convetions). So, in math-ini.mkiv we can have
diff --git a/math-ini.mkiv b/math-ini.mkiv index 17b0205..65bd43c 100644 --- a/math-ini.mkiv +++ b/math-ini.mkiv @@ -72,23 +72,27 @@
...
What do you think?
i have no problem with that ... so if no one comes up with good arguments against it we can do that 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
