If you have "bla bla \(foo bar)" then the ( isn't in column zero, and \( => ( in this context. So I'm not sure this is even a convention; it's just a work-around. And what character to use in what language to get a similar effect is surely language-dependent? So I don't think this is something that needs expounding upon; closing. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
