StrEntities

contributions welcome

Julia Version Unit Tests Coverage

StrEntities extends the string literals provided by the StrLiterals package. It adds support for HTML, LaTeX, Unicode and Emoji entities, provided by the packages:

This adds four ways of representing characters in the literal string, \:emojiname:, \<latexname>, \&htmlname; and \N{UnicodeName}. This makes life a lot easier when you want to keep the text of a program in ASCII, and also to be able to write programs using those characters that might not even display correctly in their editor.

  • \< followed by a LaTeX entity name followed by > outputs that character or sequence if the name is valid.
  • \: followed by an Emoji name followed by : outputs that character or sequence (if a valid name)
  • \& followed by an HTML entity name followed by ; outputs that character or sequence (if a valid name)
  • \N{ followed by a Unicode entity name (case-insensitive!) followed by a } outputs that Unicode character (if a valid name)
