Dear MathGroup,
If I use the Default notebook style and type:
a -> b
then the two character arrow is immediately changed to the single character
arrow. And there are other automatic replacements. I believe these
replacements are specified by the ImportAutoReplacements option in the
Option Inspector.
But when I make my own style sheet this feature is lost and no replacement
takes place.
I would like to restore the feature but don't know how to do it.
When I look up ImportAutoReplacements in Help it says that it is a notebook
option. But when I look at the Option Inspector, it is blanked out at the
notebook level, both in a notebook in Default style and in a notebook in one
of my own styles. And the regular replacements are there at the global
level. So why doesn't it work in a private notebook style?
The private style sheet has a Notebook Options Section. I opened the
prototype for Notebook and added
InputAutoReplacements->{
"->"->"\[Rule]", ":>"->"\[RuleDelayed]", "<="->"\[LessEqual]",
">="->"\[GreaterEqual]", "!="->"\[NotEqual]",
"=="->"\[Equal]"}
but that didn't correct the problem. When I checked the options for the
notebook with Option Inspector the replacement rules were there and active.
But they still didn't work in the notebook.
Is there a way to fix this?
