Adding symbols

[DrWaleedAYousef]

How can I add new symbols to magic-latex-buffer and keep them after any update? E.g., adding \Vert to render as ||

Thanks

@DrWaleedAYousef,

magic-latex-buffer currently does not have any (user-friendly) interface to add symbols dynamically.

A workaround is to push '(regexp . symbol) pairs to ml/symbols (defconst marks the symbol value to be constant, but it actually can be updated dynamically).

(push '("\\\\Vert\\>" . "||") ml/symbols)

Thanks so much; it works!

Thank you so much for your support; I tried it for many symbols and it works great. For example, I used it for \textsuperscript as:

(push '("\\textsuperscript\>" . "⁺") ml/symbols)

However, now I need to treat the whole \textsuperscript{ANY THING} as the mathematical superscript and raise it up. I looked at the superscript function of your code but my little knowledge of elisp was a challenge. Any help?
