Did I write the above? Sorry, the first =CE=B1 should have been "\alpha". And I was just referring to the X-Symbol feature: AFAIK, one of one of X-Symbol's features is to shows you "nice symbols and such", such as =E2=86=92 =E2=8A=A2 =CE=B1, in place of the correspondin= g TeX code (such as \to, \vdash, \alpha). It does it in a way which is fairly intrusive, replacing the \to, \vdash, \alpha text itself in the buffer (and replacing it back when saving). And I was pointing out that nowadays it would be a lot more natural to do that via prettify-symbols-mode which would be more efficient and wouldn't requiring changing the buffer's content (so, no risk of messing up the file's content either). >>> Besides sub and super indices were not supported.1 >> Not sure what you mean by that. > Oh in Latex you can have=20 > $u_k$ > or=20 > $u^l$ > where k is the sup and l the > super index. I know that, but what does it have to do with X-Symbol? More to the point: Emacs's built-in LaTeX mode already displays those above "_k" and "^l" as sub- and superscripts (and has been doing it for many years now). So, what did X-Symbol do with super/subscript that isn't covered by this? Stefan
