Comments, thoughts? Messing around a lot with active characters, I=92d love to have a simple interface for defining them. (And also taking care of verbatim etc.) A very nice thing for the =94normal=93 package author would be some macro= \define_active_char:Nn {} which makes the active and assigns the given code to it, internally using the code that Will wrote. I don=92t know if it=92s a good idea to make ^^@ always active. No reason= for this, just a gut feeling about too many active chars. cheers Arno --------------enigE3EA70F86BB4AF0608D58A6D Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkyTxzAACgkQcYXUw/rerZ4IzgCeNncJKyX7AoDgDqtJGDDtSiNv 33MAoJtFv5IbDMSyX/RmWMUKGUlDbgW0 =6+/2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigE3EA70F86BB4AF0608D58A6D--
