Hi all, I was under the (mistaken?) impression that "textbar" (for "|") was predefined somewhere in the distribution, but couldn't find anyhting. So I defined it myself in the preamble of my document: \define\textbar{\getglyph{Roman}{\char124}} and it seems to be working. Is this the proper way to do this? Best Thomas

It is defined in enco-cyr.tex, but should also be defined in (at least) enco-tbo.tex enco-ans.tex enco-ec.tex
So I defined it myself in the preamble of my document: \define\textbar{\getglyph{Roman}{\char124}}
and it seems to be working. Is this the proper way to do this?
\definecharacter textbar 124 Patrick

ok as long as you keep the font encoding in mind more font independent alternative: \define\textbar{\blackrule[width=1pt,height=1.5ex,depth=.5ex]}
and it seems to be working. Is this the proper way to do this?
or \definesymbol ... or use: \vl \textbrokenbar i'm not sure if \textbar is/should be in the encoding vectors ... Hans
Hi,
i'm not sure if \textbar is/should be in the encoding vectors ...
since | is made active, we have to have some way to work around it. Or we should be able to use \| to get char 124. It does not have to be \textbar. \chardef\|=124 would be ok, wouldn't it? Patrick -- Morgen gibts kein ABC mehr...
That's right, I think \| would be the most natural way, the same being true for \{ and \} (which I happen to need from time to time). Any chance of seeing this soon?
