Other ideas? Having an entity for every possible combination of <meta_key>-<something> seems awfully wasteful. Perhaps something like this: &key.ctrl;P (note that 'P' isn't part of the entity) which would render as "Ctrl-P", or <keyctrl>P</keyctrl> It's reasonable to have entities for the exotic comobinations (e.g., &key.ctrl.alt.del;), but I think having one for every letter will be a maintenance headache. If you only add the ones you need now, non-committers will have trouble contrbuting something where they need an entity that doesn't exist. Dima Dorfman dima@unixfreak.org P.S. Thanks for all your recent work on consistency; it's making things look much better. Perhaps you can get one of your minions to work on making references to -stable and -current consistent, too, with the use of the &stable; and ¤t; entities :-).
