Angle bracket ligatures for HTML, Haskell #1196

[x] A programming language requires this ligation. Provide the information below.
[x] This ligation is implemented in other programming fonts. Provide samples below.

Shown below is JetBrains Mono. Ligatures to add are: </ /> </> <* *> <*> <+ +> <+> <$ $> <$>.

For <+> <+ +> I am aware that the plus is already vertically centered. In some fonts like Fira Code the plus sign is enlarged.

Same for <*>, but we might as well align the * like <.> too.

$-related stuff will be hard to deal with -- considering how many variants we have

ghost commented 2 years ago

Maybe we don't need to design new glyphs for when we could just overlay existing shapes. (Just saying).

Perhaps one end of the angle brackets would be lengthened when next to $ or /, touching their ends, like what we've done with the triangle pipe characters, while the $ and / would stay unaffected.

Guess that would be okay.

We could only add </> </ /> instead, that would be easier since those three chars have only one variant each
