Hi there!

The symbol is called a guillemet, a diminutive of Guillaume (Le Be), the typographer. It has nothing to do with the French word for word, mot. :-) Steve

Thank you! But I'm confused - why there are two different names (I tried the names from the encodings)?

Ask Google ;-) guillemet: 63200 hits guillemot: 1550000 hits guillemets: 353000 guillemots: 52900 You are right that "e" is correct, but "o" is very usual, perhaps since centuries... Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net

I guess you are right, but the Postscript Name for this glyph is eg. guillemotleft, the unicode name (U+00AB) is 'Left Pointing Guillemet', so guillemot is a slightly reasonable name for that glyph, even if it is wrong ...

I realize I will never be able to stamp out the incorrect word, but ConTeXt should at least allow the correct word to be used and resolve into the incorrect one :-) That much I do think should be added. Nothing will break and everyone should be happy. Steve

we already have (in enco-def): \ifx\greeklamda\undefined \def\greeklamda{\greeklambda} \fi \ifx\greekLamda\undefined \def\greekLamda{\greekLambda} \fi and i've added: \ifx\leftguillemet \undefined \def\leftguillemet {\leftguillemot } \fi \ifx\rightguillemet\undefined \def\rightguillemet{\rightguillemot} \fi 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
