That seems a reasonable thing to add, and it's in patch form below. But what makes me hesitate to add it is that there's a commented-out "\\sqrt[3]" in the file... Does this mean that this should be "\\sqrt[2]"? Why is it commented out in the first place? Don't latin-ltx people like squares? And roots? So if anybody else who uses this input method could weigh in here, that would be nice. diff --git a/lisp/leim/quail/latin-ltx.el b/lisp/leim/quail/latin-ltx.el index 93b1250a35..aed34d1265 100644 --- a/lisp/leim/quail/latin-ltx.el +++ b/lisp/leim/quail/latin-ltx.el @@ -703,6 +703,7 @@ ("\\ldq" ?\=E2=80=9C) ("\\rdq" ?\=E2=80=9D) ("\\defs" ?=E2=89=99) ; per fuzz/zed + ("\\sqrt" ?=E2=88=9A) ;; ("\\sqrt[3]" ?=E2=88=9B) ("\\llbracket" ?\=E3=80=9A) ; stmaryrd ("\\rrbracket" ?\=E3=80=9B) --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
