render "->" as "&rarr" on html export?

[Matt Price]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 415 bytes --]

I feel like I've seen the answer to this somewhere but I can't find it --
is it possible for me to get "->" and "=>" to render as rightarrows (→, ⇒)?

\rightarrow will work, but doesn't give me the visual cue I want when
working in org. And entering unicode directly in org is pretty distracting
for me, as the gnome unicode shortcuts seem to turn themselves on and off
whenever I upgrade.

thanks!

Not an answer to your question, but alternative: the company-math[1]
package makes it really easy to insert unicode.

Best,

Do you want to render it in the buffer or on export?  For the buffer you
could use prettify-symbols-mode.

With org-entities you can have it displayed as the equivalent unicode
characters of e.g. \rightarrow.  With cdlatex you can insert \rightarrow
quickly (on my keyboard: "¨>").

Also, TeX input method.  Also, C-x 8 RET 2192 RET.  Also, filters.

... by adding the following into your .emacs:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  ;; Show entities as UTF8 characters.
  (setq org-pretty-entities t)          ; emsp, etc.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This would work for "\rightarrow" but I don't think you can configure it
to support "->".  For that you'd need prettify-symbols-mode, I think.

I think you're right, indeed!

So we need both if we want to display all these characters, right ?

\Rightarrow and friends are supported through org-entities.  This makes
sure that it's translated to the right symbol irrespective of the backend.

prettify-symbols-mode is for showing an "ascii characters" in a pretty
way.  This will do nothing for export.

If you don't mind unicode characters maybe an input method is what you
want.  E.g. with the rfc1345 input method, you can insert '→' with '&->'.
