Wish you could use HTML entities in regular text? Now you can! For any HTML entity, type it with a : prefix instead of &, and have it replaced with the Unicode character.
For instance:
| Shortcut | Character | Unicode Name |
|---|---|---|
:amp; | & | Ampersand |
:copy; | © | Copyright sign |
:mdash; | — | Em dash |
:hellip; | … | Horizontal ellipsis |
:infin; | ∞ | Infinity |
:rarr; | → | Rightwards arrow |
:larr; | ← | Leftwards arrow |
:ne; | ≠ | Not equal to |
:harr; | ↔ | Left right arrow |
:spades; | ♠ | Black spade suit |
:starf; | ★ | Black star |
:there4; | ∴ | Therefore |
:fnof; | ƒ | Latin small f with hook |
The full list is huge!
Note that this package does NOT support typing Unicode escape sequences like &#NNNN, where the N characters are digits.
