2010-09-10 Thread Rudolf Sykora
Hello, I've been trying to regularly use troff for my writings. Being a physicist I generally write a lot of math. What I miss quite often are special math characters like Dirac brackets, in TeX \langle, \rangle (so far I've replaced them just with and ; but then I sometimes need them
