Support more "isolated" accents #99

Open wspr opened 14 years ago

wspr commented 14 years ago

I'm not sure how possible this is at the moment, but Mariusz would like to be able to use notation such as Aˇ and A˚. Something to think about, anyway.

More details from him:

I wish a mechanism for this can be implemented in 'unicode-math'. Look how simple Aˇ and A˚ look.

[...]

I went through some of my relatively recent TeX sources and, predictably, I found that what I did was something like

{whatever}^{\vee} , {whatever}^{\wedge} or {whatever}^{\sim}

The result is not perfect but, well, 'acceptable'

[...]

The whole idea is that some Math 'accents' like \hat , \check , \tilde , also can appear in the role of a superscript, and when they do, they are supposed to be somewhat bigger -- very much like the \acute accent which becomes 'prime' when treated as a superscript.

The three examples I provided above should be considered to be very similar in this respect to the 'prime' accent.
