multi-word abbrev expansion

multi-word abbrev expansion

[Le Wang]

I asked about this on stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14426748/multi-word-abbrev-expansion

I'm mainly interested in expanding "1/2" to the unicode fraction, but
"/" is not word constituent, and I also don't want to change the
syntax table.

Not exactly what you want, but here is some code that changes all 'a'
characters into 'b' characters:

(let ((table (make-display-table)))
    (aset table ?a [?b])
    (setf buffer-display-table table))


You can change this to replace the / with an Unicode character. However,
when you save the file you will still have the / in place. Maybe  implement
a before file write hook and change what is being saved if you need to
persist the Unicode character.
