may as well add \textdagger and \textdaggerdbl as well.

Added. Also noticed that |

You mentioned that $\text{\pounds}$ generates a textord, should \text{\textsterling} do the same? Can you add a TODO so that people aren't confused by the use of mathords in text mode later on?

Added. Although I found this discussion where @xymostech suggests that maybe we should move away from mathord vs. textord, and rather just specify which font to use. It seems LaTeX has a notion of "mathord" but no notion of "textord" (at least I've never seen one in debugging output)?

Should be good to go now. Someday, a more thorough symbol review wouldn't hurt, but this should help! (Also rebased.) |
Add long-form aliases for various text symbols
* \textgreater is an alias for > in text mode
* \textless is an alias for < in text mode
* \textbar is an alias for | in text mode
* \textdollar is an alias for \$ in text mode
* \textunderscore is an alias for \_ in text mode
* \textbraceleft is an alias for \{ in text mode
* \textbraceright is an alias for \} in text mode
* \textless is an alias for < in text mode
* \textgreater is an alias for > in text mode
* \textbar is an alias for | in text mode
* \textbardbl is an alias for \| in text mode
* \textendash is an alias for -- in text mode
* \textemdash is an alias for --- in text mode
* \textquoteleft is an alias for ` in text mode
* \textquoteright is an alias for ' in text mode
* \textquotedblleft is an alias for `` in text mode
* \textquotedblright is an alias for '' in text mode
* \textdagger is an alias for \dag in text mode
* \textdaggerdbl is an alias for \ddag in text mode
* \textsterling is an alias for \pounds in text mode
* \dag, \ddag work in text mode
* \circledR, \checkmark, \pounds work in text mode too
* Extend Symbols1 test to test \pounds and \textdollar in \text
* Add note about \pounds in text vs. math mode

LGTM. Thanks! |
This started as a fix to #662, which reported lack of
<and>support in text mode. As suggested, I mapped them to regular<and>characters as if\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}is in effect. This seems like the preferred behavior (unless you're typing in Spanish or another language that uses upside-down symbols... but then perhaps better to use Unicode symbols).I also noticed that
|wasn't working in text mode, but was supposed to, so I added that. These are one-line changes.I then implemented
\textless,\textgreater,\textbaras aliases to these symbols.I then started going through this symbol list to see what other characters were missing. I added support for
\textdollar,\textunderscore,\textbraceleft,\textbraceright,\textbardbl,\textendash,\textemdash,\textquote(dbl)(left/right)as aliases to existing symbols. I didn't attempt to add the other text symbols, though that might be good for a future project...
