> Can't help with the "How to type one" That's not what Bogdan means with “to generate”; he means to actually insert the character in the text stream, since one might worry that when typing a character actually calls a macro that is supposed to insert that same character into the text, the macro would be called recursively. A legitimate concern; but fortunately that doesn't happen.

In Unicode that's how the slash is called (/). Arthur -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
