Suggested symbols

[hgiesel]

asciimathml already supports , so why not? One usage is showing adjoint functors. Suggested input would --|, to mirror |--

This is used for showing normal subgroups, but there might also other uses. Suggested input would be <|, and |>.

Thanks for the suggestion. For the triangle operators, my only concern would be that it might cause backwards compatibility issues, for someone who's written something like |x|>3 without leaving spaces.

FWIW, if you're using MathJax for display, you could add these symbols yourself using a custom config like:

<script type="text/x-mathjax-config">
  MathJax.Hub.Register.StartupHook("AsciiMath Jax Ready",function () {
    AM = MathJax.InputJax.AsciiMath.AM;
    AM.newsymbol({input:"--|", tag:"mo", output:"\u22A3", tex:"dashv", ttype:AM.TOKEN.CONST});
  });
</script>

I consider it a golden rule to always surround operators with spaces, but anyway ;)

And thanks for the suggestion. But because 99% of the time I look at my markup through a text editor anyway, I don't mind too much, but I would to love to see the syntax be expanded to cover more use cases.
