| All math tags should work outside of <math>, with perhaps a different font.

| 274.2 | Try <MCS> characters | UBEAUT::MANDERSON | the wind don't blow..... it sux | Mon Apr 20 1987 20:47 | 6 |
| Don't forget that there are <MCS> characters that you can use outside
<MATH>. I use <MCS>(one_forth) and <MCS>(one_half) in a few
places. They are not as extensive as <MATH> but for what I need
they are fine.

| re: 274.2
I didn't forget about <MCS>, however, <MCS> is inadequate.
1. All of the <math_char> characters should be allowed outside of <math>.
2. Most, perhaps not all, of the <math> tag operators in tables 13-1 and 13-2
of the User's Guide (pages 13-139 to 13-140 qnd 13-142, respectively)
should be allowed outside of <math>. (NOTE: There is also a table 13-1 on
page 147.)
3. Actually, I believe that there is some duplication, e.g.:
a. <dots> would be identical with <hellipsis>
b. <dot times> would be identical with <mcs>(raised_period)

<math_char> is allowed outside of <math>.

| 274.5 | Other redundant characters... | COOKIE::JOHNSTON | | Wed Apr 22 1987 12:01 | 25 |
| There is some duplication of characters within <math_char> and between
<math_char> and <special_char>:
<math_char>(parallel)
<math_char>(double_vert)
<math_char>(dagger) <math_char>(ddagger)
<special_char>(dagger) <special_char>(double_dagger)
<math_char>(diamondsuit)
<special_char>(full_diamond)
The difference between diamondsuit and full_diamond is an empty diamond
and blackened diamond; I was curious as to why one appeared in
<math_char> and not the other.
I couldn't see any difference between the others, such as ddagger and
double_dagger.
Is the redundancy intentional? Is it a matter of "correct" tagging for
these cases?

| 274.6 | different character sets | CLOSET::ANKLAM | | Wed Apr 22 1987 12:23 | 15 |

THe redundancy isn't really intentional, but is a byproduct of
supporting three 'special' character sets:
<mcs> gets you characters from the DEC Multinational Set
<special_char> gets you characters from the set of publishing
characters
<math_char> gets you characters from the math character set.
In the case of duplications, go with <special_char>; these will
give you the correctly sized character to go in the current font.
The math character set only has one size.
