quail: TeX input method: change UTF8 to tex and back: solution & problems

Hello Some days ago I asked for an equivalent to iso-unaccentuate for quail input methods. Since as I learnt xemacs does not use the GNU Emacs idea of multi-byte chars, iso-unaccentuate should work without problems for ó and the like. Now I asked for a similar feature for the TeX input methods: TeX-2-utf8(TeXtuate) \int ---------------> ∫ utf8-2-TeX(TeXuntuate) ∫ ---------------> \int Now I looked into a attic package (1994) iso-sgml, (written by Frederic Lepied <lepied(a)cenaath.cena.dgac.fr>), whose logic I could understand, which changed iso-8859-1 chars to the SGML entities. A main point was the variable sgml2iso-trans-tab, which looks basically like: (defvar sgml2iso-trans-tab '( ("&AElig\;" "Æ") )) Which changed &AElig; to Æ and back. So I boldly modified the variable to the following (defvar tex2utf8symb-trans-tab '( ("\int" "∫") )) I am not sure whether I could treat ∫ as a string, for example in the file latin-ltx.el I see ("\\int" ?∫) Anyhow the code worked, but there is a problem: (defvar tex2utf8symb-trans-tab '( ("\\in" "∈") ("\\infty" "∞") ("\\int" "∫") )) While \in and \int are transformed correctly \infty is changed to ∈fty, which is wrong (on the other hand I don't understand why \int is not transformed to ∈t but anyhow). So the question is how shall I define the tex commands uniquely? thanks Uwe Brauer _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Beta mailing list XEmacs-Beta(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-beta
