[NTG-context] Editor's Symbols?
Hi all, I'm pretty much a new user to ConTeXt and actually any form of TeX, so forgive me if my question sounds ignorant. Is there any way to format editor's symbols (like those used for demonstration in grammatical textbooks) in a block of text using ConTeXt or LaTeX (preferably with the former)? If not, then does anyone know how I might do this some other way besides actually writing it out by hand? Thanks for your help! Alex __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Do you have any links to examples of these symbols, etc.? Are they encoded in Unicode?

Here's an example: http://www.colorado.edu/Publications/styleguide/symbols.html I've seen these printed (not handwritten) in grammar guides, so I was wondering if formatting them with TeX was possible at all.

Look at the U-2000 encoding block; you will find at least one character available, ⁁ (U-2041), the caret-insertion mark. What's not covered by Unicode would need a package (or at least a few definitions), perhaps based on metapost. I am not aware of any such package for context; have no info about latex.
