Emacs package "X-Symbol": Overview

The main purpose of package x-symbol is to provide some WYSIWYGness in an area where it greatly enhance the readability of your LaTeX or HTML source: using "real" characters for "tokens" like \oplus or ™. It also provides input methods for these characters, both for the beginner and the expert (some users regard this as the main reason to use package x-symbol). WYSIWYG super- and subscripts and images/figures are also supported.

You may use package X-Symbol in combination with iTe, an Emacs/LaTeX solution for interactive WYSIWYG placement/rotation of LaTeX fragments. Their features are orthogonal to each other.

If you want WYSIWYGness for some formatting, you should probably use LyX. Here are some reasons why you would use Emacs/XEmacs with package x-symbol instead:

Currently, package X-Symbol requires XEmacs-20.3 or higher, with or without Mule support. Look here for the support of older XEmacsen and here for support of Emacs.
