ekaschalk / emacs-ligatures Goto Github PK

Thank you for this prototype. I think it is really useful (see e.g., Malabarba/Nameless#18).

I'm not sure about the "ligature" word. I've never seen it used in the context you use it for (e.g., transforming lambda into λ). I've only seen it in a typography context where 2 or 3 letters are still visible but attached together: just like if they were melted. I can see the relation between the two contexts but I'm not sure you can use the word in both.

It seems that Emacs uses the vocabulary prettified symbols that you might want to reuse (see prog-mode.el).
