Editor's Symbols?

Editor's Symbols?

[Alex K]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 593 bytes --]

Hi all,


I'm pretty much a new user to ConTeXt and actually any form of TeX, so forgive me if my question sounds ignorant. Is there any way to format editor's symbols (like those used for demonstration in grammatical textbooks) in a block of text using ConTeXt or LaTeX (preferably with the former)? If not, then does anyone know how I might do this some other way besides actually writing it out by hand?


Thanks for your help!


Alex

Forgive me, but could you be more specific? Do you have any links to  
examples of these symbols, etc.? Are they encoded in Unicode?

Look at the U-2000 encoding block; you will find at least one character  
available, ⁁ (U-2041), the caret-insertion mark. What's not covered by  
Unicode would need a package (or at least a few definitions), perhaps  
based on metapost. I am not aware of any such package for context; have no  
info about latex.

Best wishes

Here's an example:

I've seen these printed (not handwritten) in grammar guides, so I was wondering if formatting them with TeX was possible at all.

Thanks,

Alex
