Hi all,
Just a quick feedback on the unicode.xml file provided in the "XML
Entity Definitions for Characters" spec:
- Some characters have mathclass="R?" (with a question mark)... I guess
that's because the mathclass is not clear, but it is unexpected for
someone who wants to process the file automatically...
- Some Arabic Letters (U+0627-U+063A and Arabic mathematical alphabetic
symbol) should probably have mathclass="A" since they are used as
mathematical variables.
- Some LaTeX commands map to different Unicode code points. For example
\mathsfbf{\Alpha} maps to both the capital and small (bold sans-serif)
alpha, which is clearly wrong (one should be \mathsfbf{\alpha}). See the
attached diff files for details. They were generated using the attached
XSLT stylesheet and the Unix command "xsltproc extract.xsl unicode.xml
| sort --key=2,2 > commands1.txt; cat commands1.txt | uniq
--skip-chars=7 > commands2.txt ; diff -U8 commands1.txt commands2.txt >
commands.diff".
