README
The unisugar package 0.92 ========================= The package requires an TeX-alike system that uses Unicode input in a native way: current examples are XeTeX and LuaTeX. This package provides syntactic sugar for LaTeX commands, using selected Unicode characters: Certain Unicode characters can be used as shorthand for popular LaTeX commands, e.g., a Unicode bullet can be used instead of a \item, and a pilcrow can be used instead paragraph. The intent is to minimize the use of English left-to-right characters in documents whose main language is written right-to-left, since mixing characters of different directionality confuses both text editors and human beings. Using this package, you may find yourself typing a bit less, provided you can configure your text editor or keyboard driver to generate the handful of Unicode characters defined by this package. More importantly, the package is useful in defining macros whose name is composed of right-to-left characters and in minimizing mixed directionality text in right-to-left documents.
