Complete support of "The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List" #41

Open YiqiXu opened 2 years ago

YiqiXu commented 2 years ago

Although TeXmacs supports Unicode very well, the code for a specific symbol is hard to memorize; on the contrary, the LaTeX commands of various mathematical symbols are well-known, especially for newcomers interested in TeXmacs and at the same time familiar with LaTeX.

State of the art on The Comprehensive TeXmacs Symbol List (incomplete) is still far from satisfactory in comparison to The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List.

For the benefit of all TeXmacs users, it would be nice to have built-in macros for all the symbols listed in the above file, even though TeXmacs is independent of LaTeX/TeX. No doubt it would be a massive long-term job, but it would be more accessible as community work once the companion website mentioned in #12 is set up.

It is a big task. You can create sub-issues like https://github.com/XmacsLabs/mogan/issues/278 when you find symbols which you need but not available in GNU TeXmacs.
