I would like to define new symbols by stitching together existing
glyphs. This is what I have come up so far:
\define[1]\Transition{-\!\![#1]\!\!\rightarrow}
\starttext
\m{L\Transition{A}R}
\stoptext
This should render as -[ ]->, ideally with no space between the dash or
the arrow and the brackets, i.e., -[ should appear like a single glyph;
ditto for ]-->. With the definition above, however, the space is
variable, and in some circumstances the gliphs overlap.
How can I improve the above definition?
don't use these funny \! skips ... use some font related metric:
\define[1]\Transition{-\kern-1ex[#1]\kern-1.1ex\rightarrow}
\starttext
\m{L\Transition{A}R}
\stoptext
