Question on adding WYSIWY* math symbols
Hi everybody,
I am wondering about how to add new symbols to the WYSIWY* math editor.
I noticed that normal delimiters such as [ ] and { } are supported;
however, I require the double brackets [[ ]] used for semantics.
Of course, I can add this with ERT (\llbracket - Package stmaryrd) and
it shows just fine in DVI/PDF, however I'd really like have it displayed
in the math editor view as a symbol.
So, my question is: Is there a straightforward way of adding support for
additional symbols? Perhaps editing some symbol table file? Or coding a
plugin?
Sorry if this has been answered - I'd appreciate an URL then ;)
Thanks,
Philip
