Even though users of the package would obviously be people capable of typing the characters (because otherwise they'd have no reason to use the package), it might be preferable to use the ^^^^ quoting syntax to specify the characters in the package code instead of using the Unicode characters themselves, because the package code could get sent through ASCII-only email, printed out and typed back in, etc. That would especially be the case for spaces, which aren't easy to identify unambiguously on sight. -- Matthew Skala msk...@ansuz.sooke.bc.ca People before principles. http://ansuz.sooke.bc.ca/ -------------------------------------------------- Subscriptions, Archive, and List information, etc.: http://tug.org/mailman/listinfo/xetex
