Fix default conceal for xi forms
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Currently it's using xⁱ ; x₀ - x₉
. The reason for the xⁱ
instead of xᵢ
is that U+1D62 in unavailable in many programming fonts, though it is in Consolas, for example. So now we're mixing superscripts with subscripts.
A better default might be x¡
with x₀ - x₉
. This is "U+001A: Inverted Exclamation Mark". It resembles the desired subscript i pretty closely and it's in pretty much every font.
A possible alternative is all superscripts:
xⁱ ; x⁰ - x⁹
.
This kind of looks like a polynomial, so subscripts are better defaults. You could write them in the opposite order to make them look less like exponents:
ⁱx ; ⁰x - ⁹x
.
⁴⁵⁶⁷⁸⁹
are U+2074 through U+2079. ²
,³
, ¹
, and ⁰
are U+00B2, U+00B3, U+00B9, and U+2070, respectively.
I went with the first suggestion, polinomial-style superscripts were just too confusing 😄
