Display many latex symbols as their unicode counterparts
Description: This library use font-locking to change the way Emacs displays various latex commands, like \Gamma, \Phi, etc. It does not actually change the content of the file, only the way it is displayed. Quick start: add this file to load path, then (require 'latex-pretty-symbols) TODO: The most pressing isue is a way to let not only single symbols be displayed, but also strings. Then we can e.g display "⟨⟨C⟩⟩" instead of atldiamond. Currently the 5 symbols gets placed on top of each other, resulting in a mighty mess. This problem might be demomposed into two types: When the replaced string is bigger than the string replacing it (probably the easiest case), and the converse case. Package it as a elpa/marmelade package. --A problem here is that marmelade destroys the unicode encoding. A possible fix for this is to change this code, so instead of containing the unicode characters directly, it can contain the code for each of them as an integer. This would probably be more portable/safe, but in some way less userfriendly, as one can not scan through the file to see which symbols it has, and to enter one one needs to find the code Also it would be nice if it had some configuration possibilities. Eg the ability to add own abreviations through the customization interface, or toggle the display of math-curly-braces. On a longer timeline, it would be nice if it could understand some basic newcommands, and automatically deduce the needed unicode (but this seems super hard).
