Subject: Define new symbol by stitching two symbols together
Date: Sat, 22 May 2021 18:23:10 -0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <s8bi6e$17j3$1@ciao.gmane.io> (raw)
I would like to define new symbols by stitching together existing
glyphs. This is what I have come up so far:
\define[1]\Transition{-\!\![#1]\!\!\rightarrow}
\starttext
\m{L\Transition{A}R}
\stoptext
This should render as -[ ]->, ideally with no space between the dash or
the arrow and the brackets, i.e., -[ should appear like a single glyph;
ditto for ]-->. With the definition above, however, the space is
variable, and in some circumstances the gliphs overlap.
How can I improve the above definition?
Nicola
