Hi all,
I was under the (mistaken?) impression that "textbar" (for "|") was
predefined somewhere in the distribution, but couldn't find anyhting.
So I defined it myself in the preamble of my document:
\define\textbar{\getglyph{Roman}{\char124}}
and it seems to be working. Is this the proper way to do this?
Best
Thomas

It is defined in enco-cyr.tex, but should also be defined in (at
least)
enco-tbo.tex
enco-ans.tex
enco-ec.tex

\definecharacter textbar 124

ok as long as you keep the font encoding in mind
more font independent alternative:
\define\textbar{\blackrule[width=1pt,height=1.5ex,depth=.5ex]}
>and it seems to be working. Is this the proper way to do this?
or \definesymbol ...
or use:
\vl \textbrokenbar
i'm not sure if \textbar is/should be in the encoding vectors ...

Hi,
> i'm not sure if \textbar is/should be in the encoding vectors ...
since | is made active, we have to have some way to work around it.
Or we should be able to use \| to get char 124. It does not have to
be \textbar.
\chardef\|=124 would be ok, wouldn't it?

That's right, I think \| would be the most natural way, the same being
true for \{ and \} (which I happen to need from time to time). Any
chance of seeing this soon?
