Archived-At:
The following isn't working for me (in Aquamacs)
(define-abbrev-table 'text-mode-abbrev-table '(
("\\a" "\\alpha" nil 0) ; want \a to abbreviate \alpha
("\\b" "\\beta" nil 0)
...
))
I don't have an issue with abbrevs in general, there's just some
funny business with the abbrev involving a "\".
For example this works:
(define-abbrev-table 'text-mode-abbrev-table '(
("qa" "\\alpha" nil 0)
("qb" "\\beta" nil 0)
))
...but is inelegant. Shouldn't I be able to define an abbrev that expands
things like \a , \b, etc?
I've seen examples from other people, so maybe this is an
Aquamacs-specific issue?
