My understanding of a digraph is basically two characters that together represent one real character. e.g. if you type ^Ka' in Vim it turns the digraph consisting of a lowercase A and an apostrophe into á (a acute). > that $+ not be followed by a whitespace to count as a string?

No, he's saying you could use $+ some string + or $% some string % or $* some string * etc. to mean the same as " some string ", so the thing immediately following the $ sign must not be a space, but could be basically anything else. The bit where he talks about digraphs was to do with being able to quote the + character when you were using $+ and + for the delimiters. He was proposing you use $+ to mean a + where it occurs in the middle of the string. So: $+something $+ else+ would be equivalent to "something + else". Of course in this case you could just use $...@something + else@ instead. Where a $x is found in the middle of the string and the x is not a delimiter (e.g. $#=...@===#) you would just leave it as-is (i.e. it would be equivalent to "=...@===".) -- Michael Wood <esiot...@gmail.com> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
