+⌘begin{abstract}
+This package provides syntactic sugar
+ for ⌘LaTeX{} commands, using selected
+ ⌘href{http://www.unicode.org/standard/standard.html}⌘Unicode
+ characters:
+Certain ⌘Unicode characters can be used as shorthand for certain
+ ⌘LaTeX{} commands.
+The package also makes it possible to use the familiar
+ command key symbol,~⌘command␣key as a prefix of ⌘TeX{}'s
+ macros (the backlash character,~⌘textbackslash, can
+ still be used).
+And it allows the use of visual space,~⌘␣,
+ within the names of macros, thus making it easier to
+ write macros whose names are composed of more than one word.
+
+In this document I describe these syntactical extensions,
+ and explain why they make it easier to compose
+ right-to-left documents.

+
+§ Introduction
+You do not really ⌘emph{need} this package.
+As its name implies, all it offers is what people call
+ ``syntactic sugar''---the ability to use a selected
+ number of ⌘textsc{⌘Unicode} characters instead of and within
+ the most common ⌘LaTeX{} commands.
+
+Some may appreciate the fact that using this package,
+ the text you type---the input to ⌘LaTeX{}---will look
+ a bit more neat
+ and infinitesimally closer to the output.
+Others will argue against it, mentioning that the input document
+ will be less portable,
+ and less ``⌘LaTeX-like'' (whatever this term means).
+
+Still, using this package,
+ you will find yourself typing a bit less,
+ provided you can configure your text editor or
+ keyboard driver to generate
+ the handful of ⌘Unicode characters defined by this package.
+
+More importantly, if your input files include right-to-left text,
+ you are likely to find this package indispensable.
+If your document is indeed going to include right-to-left text, please
+ pay special attention to Section~☝{Section:rtl:divisions},
+ which describes how ⌘unisugar should help you with
+ your document divisioning directives, and
+ to Section~☝{Section:rtl:commands},
+ which explains how ⌘unisugar makes it easier
+ to intermix ⌘LaTeX commands with your text.
+If however you are not likely to include right-to-left text in
+ your documents,
+ you do not need to read these sections.
+
+
+§ User Guide
+Simply apply a ⌘verb+\usepackage+ directive to use
+ this package.
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘verb+\usepackage{unisugar}+
+⌘end{code}
+
+There are no package options at this time.
+
+You would then have to use a ⌘Unicode based version of ⌘LaTeX{},
+ that is ⌘XeLaTeX{} or ⌘LuaLaTeX{}
+ to process your input file, e.g., for processing the document
+ you are now reading,
+ I typed at my shell command prompt
+⌘begin{code}
+xelatex unisugar.tex
+⌘end{code}
+
+§§ Document Divisioning Commands
+
+Two of ⌘Unicode's typographical characters,~⌘texttt{⌘¶}
+ (code point B6, the pilcrow sign) and~⌘texttt{⌘§}
+ (code point A7, the section sign) are employed
+ in ⌘unisugar to make shorthands
+ for ⌘LaTeX{} traditional document divisionining commands:
+ ⌘verb+\section+,
+ ⌘verb+\subsection+, ⌘verb+\subsubsection+, and the lesser units,
+ ⌘verb+\paragraph+,
+ and ⌘verb+\subparagraph+ commands.
+
+Thus, instead of writing
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘textbackslash section⌘{User Guide⌘}
+⌘end{code}
+at the beginning of this section, I typed just
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘§ User Guide
+⌘end{code}
+Similarly, instead of
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘textbackslash subsection⌘{Document Divisioning Commands⌘}
+⌘end{code}
+I typed
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘§⌘§ Document Divisioning Commands
+⌘end{code}
+to generate the header of this subsection.
+
+Observe that I did not need to type nor an opening curly
+ bracket,~⌘verb+{+, neither a closing curly bracket,~⌘verb+}+.
+The division's title extends from the~⌘texttt{⌘§}
+ character (in case of a section), or the~⌘texttt{⌘§⌘§}
+ characters pair (in case of a subsection)
+ until the end of the line.
+
+
+Table ☝{Table:divisions} summarizes the shorthands for the document
+ divisioning commands.
+The original versions are always there, in case you need
+ to use the starred version of the divisioning command,
+ or pass an optional argument to it.

+§§ Right-to-left Text Editing
+⌖{Section:rtl:divisions}
+There is a great advantage of using these sugared replacements
+ in composing left-to-right documents.
+Think of a a Hebrew document including a section
+ named ⌘texthebrew{מבוא} (Which means ``Introduction'' in Hebrew).
+Then, with plain ⌘XeLaTeX{}, the document would start with
+ a directive
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘textbackslash{}section⌘{⌘fontspec{Courier New}
+מבוא%
+⌘rm⌘tt⌘}
+⌘end{code}
+Even if your text editor can manage well mixed directionality text,
+ you will find editing the above line a bit confusing.
+The reason is that the character following the opening
+ curly brackets is
+ not~⌘texthebrew{א} but rather ⌘texthebrew{מ}.
+
+As the cursor moves forward beginning at the first character in
+ the line, it hits the opening curly brackets, and then you may
+ expect it to proceed to the adjacent
+ letter ⌘texthebrew{א}.
+This so called ⌘emph{visual} flow is
+ in fact incorrect.
+The more correct ⌘emph{logical} flow prescribes
+ that the cursor should instead ``jump'' to the
+ to the letter ⌘texthebrew{מ}, which is the first letter of
+ the word ⌘texthebrew{מבוא}.
+
+Some editors adhere to the visual flow, others, more modern
+ editors, to the logical flow.
+But experience shows that both are quite confusing.
+
+Our sugared version of the divisioning directives
+ offer a more sane alternative.
+You can write instead
+⌘begin{hebrew}
+⌘begin{code}
+\§ ⌘fontspec{Courier New} מבוא
+⌘end{code}
+⌘end{hebrew}
+
+To understand why the latter is so much better than the former,
+ you need to know a bit about the manner in which ⌘Unicode deals with
+ text directionality.
+Broadly speaking, characters come
+ in three major varieties:
+⌘begin{enumerate}
+• Left-to-right directed characters, including e.g., Latin characters.
+• Right-to-left directed characters, including e.g.,
+ characters of the Hebrew
+ alphabet.
+• Undirected characters, including the digits 0-9, punctuation characters,
+ and characters such as ⌘§, ⌘¶, ⌘␣, and ⌘command␣key
+ which are not part of specific writing script.
+⌘end{enumerate}
+⌘Unicode assigns a direction to each line
+ according to the first strongly directed character of that line, and then
+ proceeds to assigning directionality to subsequences of characters
+ occurring in that line.⌘footnote{%
+The full algorithm is fairly complicated, taking into account
+ ``weak'' directionality of some of the undirected characters,
+ explicit directionality markers and nested directionality levels;
+ details can be found here ⌘url{http://unicode.org/reports/tr9}.}
+
+Most text editors follow ⌘Unicode's algorithm.
+The line
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘textbackslash{}section\{\fontspec{Courier New} מבוא%
+⌘rm⌘tt⌘}
+⌘end{code}
+will thus be classified as left-to-right, with
+ the ⌘texthebrew{מבוא} portion classified right-to-left, leading
+ to the visual vs.\ logical confusion and to irritating
+ cursor jumps.
+
+Further, the fact that the entire line is left-to-right will
+ lead text editors such as ⌘texttt{gedit} to place
+ the first character of that line at the left most position
+ in the window.
+This might be confusing even further since the section body will,
+ most likely,
+ be classified as right-to-left, and hence will be laid out
+ on the screen with the first character at the right-most
+ position.
+
+
+⌘begin{figure}[!htbp]
+⌘begin{center}
+ \includegraphics[scale=0.3]{traditional.png}
+⌘end{center}
+\caption{Using traditional sectioning directive with right-to-left text}
+⌖{Figure:traditional}
+⌘end{figure}
+
+Figure~☝{Figure:traditional} depicting the use of ⌘texttt{gedit}
+ to compose a Hebrew ⌘LaTeX{} document
+ may help in visualizing the difficulty.
+Line~18 containing the section title is laid out left-to-right,
+ despite the fact that the title is written Hebrew, in
+ visual discrepancy with lines~19 and on, containing the section body,
+ which are laid out right-to-left.
+
+In contrast, the sugared version of our document divisioning command
+⌘begin{hebrew}
+⌘begin{code}
+\fontspec{Courier New}
+\§ ⌘fontspec{Courier New} מבוא
+⌘end{code}
+⌘end{hebrew}
+has no left-to-right characters, and hence will be classified
+ as being entirely right-to-left:
+The cursor will not jump as it moves
+ across that line.
+
+
+Compare Figure~☝{Figure:traditional} with Figure~☝{Figure:sugar}
+ in which the sugared version of the ⌘verb+\section+ directive is used.
+We see that in Figure~☝{Figure:sugar} ⌘emph{all} lines
+ are laid out right-to-left.

+⌘end{figure}
+
+§§ Other Useful ⌘Unicode Characters
+The above sugar replacement for divisioning commands
+ does not scale well.
+With the exception of mathematical symbols, it is difficult
+ to find reasonable substitutes for ⌘Unicode replacements
+ for the majority of ⌘LaTeX{} commands.
+
+Still, four more ⌘Unicode characters are used by ⌘unisugar
+ as aliases for common ⌘LaTeX{} commands:
+⌘begin{enumerate}
+• Code point 2022, the bullet, rendered as ⌘•, is
+ yet another name for the ⌘verb+\item+ command.
+ In fact, to obtain this item, I typed
+⌘begin{code}
+\• Code point 2022, the bullet, rendered as ⌘textbackslash\•,⏎
+is yet another name for the ⌘verb-\verb+\item+- command.⏎
+ In fact, to obtain this item, I typed:⏎
+⌘end{code}
+• Code point 23CE, the return symbol, rendered
+ as~⌘return␣key is an alias for ⌘verb+\\+.
+ The ⌘verb+\author+ directive of this manuscript was
+ typed out as
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘verb+\author{+\\
+⌘verb+ Yossi Gil+\\
+⌘verb+ ⌘thanks{\url{mailto:yogi@cs.technion.ac.il}}+⌘return␣key⏎
+⌘verb+ ⌘normalsize Department of Computer Science+⌘return␣key⏎
+⌘verb+ ⌘normalsize The Technion---Israel Institute+\\
+⌘verb+ of Technology+⌘return␣key⏎
+⌘verb+ ⌘normalsize Technion City, Haifa 32000, Israel+\\
+⌘verb+}+
+⌘end{code}
+• Code point 2316 (position indicator), rendered as
+ {\fontspec{DejaVu Sans Mono}\⌖}
+ is an alias for ⌘LaTeX's ⌘verb+\label+ command.
+ To generate a label for Table ☝{Table:divisions},
+ I wrote:
+⌘begin{code}
+{\fontspec{Courier New}\⌖}⌘verb+{Table:divisions}+
+⌘end{code}
+• Code point 261D (white up pointing index) rendered as
+ {\fontspec{DejaVu Sans Mono}\☝}
+ is an alias ⌘LaTeX{}'s ⌘verb+\ref+ command.
+ To reference Table ☝{Table:divisions}, I wrote
+⌘begin{code}
+ To reference Table {\fontspec{DejaVu Sans Mono}\☝}\{Table:divisions\},
+ I wrote
+⌘end{code}
+⌘end{enumerate}
+
+
+§§ Extended Syntax for Commands
+It is futile to try to introduce an pictorial, easy to remember,
+ symbol for each of the
+ ⌘LaTeX{} commands in ordinary use, or even for a substantial
+ portion of these.
+As large as it is, the ⌘Unicode character repertoire
+ simply does not include icons that associated visually with notions
+ such as ⌘verb-\verb+-, ⌘verb+\begin{description}+, etc.
+And even if it was, such a large set would be difficult to
+ memorize.
+Worse, methods for producing so many characters would be cumbersome.
+
+Thus, you would have to type ⌘LaTeX{} commands every so often.
+This package offers a slightly better syntax for writing these.
+
+
+First, ⌘Unicode's code point 2318, rendered as ⌘command␣key,
+ is used in many computing systems
+ to denote the command key.
+With ⌘unisugar,the~⌘command␣key
+ character can be used as a control sequence
+ prefix,
+So, instead of writing at the beginning of this document
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘verb+\begin{document}+⏎
+⌘verb+\maketitle+⏎
+⌘verb+\begin{abstract}+⏎
+⌘verb+This package provides syntactic sugar+⌘ldots
+⌘end{code}
+I wrote
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘command␣key⌘verb+begin{document}+⏎
+⌘command␣key⌘verb+maketitle+⏎
+⌘command␣key⌘verb+begin{abstract}+⏎
+⌘verb+This package provides syntactic sugar+⌘ldots
+⌘end{code}
+
+Second, ⌘unisugar, extends to the usual set of~52 letters (a--z and A--Z)
+ ⌘Unicode character 2423,
+ the open box, which looks like like visible space in its
+ rendering~⌘␣.
+This character can thus participate in control sequences.
+The intention is that it will serve for separating words
+ in the case that your control sequence is composed of
+ several words.
+
+
+The names of large number of ⌘LaTeX{} commands are made
+ from two words
+There are even a dozen or so control sequences whose
+ name consists of three words, e.g., ⌘verb+\enlargethispage+
+ and ⌘verb+\addcontentsline+.
+Although ⌘unisugar does not provide aliases for any of
+ these multi-word commands, you can do so yourself.
+For example, at the preamble of this document, right after
+ ⌘verb+\usepackage{unisugar}+,
+I wrote
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘command␣key{}let⌘command␣key{}use␣package=⌘command␣key{}usepackage⏎
+⌘command␣key{}use␣package⌘{xspace⌘}⏎
+⌘command␣key{}let⌘command␣key{}new␣command=⌘command␣key{}newcommand⏎
+⌘command␣key{}new␣command⌘command␣key{}%
+ unisugar⌘{⌘command␣key{}texttt⌘{unisugar⌘}⌘command␣key{}xspace⌘}⏎
+⌘end{code}
+
+§§ Intermixing Commands with Right-to-Left Text
+⌖{Section:rtl:commands}
+You may not appreciate so much the advantage of
+ typing ⌘Unicode's~⌘command␣key
+ instead of plain ASCII's~⌘texttt{⌘textbackslash}.
+Granted, on most keyboards, typing~⌘texttt{⌘textbackslash}
+ would be easier.
+
+However, the nice property of ⌘command␣key is that it directionally
+ neutral.
+You would have to think about a sentence
+ involving at least one ⌘LaTeX⌘ control sequence
+ and/or a slash character to understand what I mean.
+You would not have to think so hard,
+ since, this last sentence, namely,
+⌘begin{quote}
+``⌘emph{You would have to think about a sentence
+ involving at least one ⌘LaTeX{} control sequence
+ and/or a slash character to understand what I mean.}''
+⌘end{quote}
+is a perfect example, since
+ it is a sentence which involves a ⌘LaTeX{} control sequence,
+ since the ⌘LaTeX⌘ logo is printed out using
+ the ``⌘verb+\LaTeX\+" control sequence.
+Further, this sentence includes the slash character.
+
+Typing this sentence in English is fairly straightforward.
+⌘begin{code}
+You would have to think about a sentence
+ involving at least one ⌘verb+\LaTeX\ +control sequence
+ and/or a slash character to understand what I mean.
+⌘end{code}
+
+Let me translate this sentence into Hebrew for you.
+
+⌘begin{hebrew}
+יהיה עליך לחשוב על משפט המכיל לפחות פקודת בקרה אחת
+של ⌘LaTeX⌘ ו/או לוכסן בכדי להבין למה אני מתכוון.
+⌘end{hebrew}
+
+
+What input does ⌘LaTeX{} require in order to produce the above?
+Using backslashes and traditional ⌘LaTeX{} notation I would have written
+⌘begin{hebrew}
+⌘begin{code}⌘fontspec{Courier New}
+יהיה עליך לחשוב על משפט המכיל לפחות פקודת בקרה
+אחת ⏎
+של
+⌘verb+\LaTeX\+
+ו/או לוכסן בכדי להבין למה אני מתכוון.
+⌘end{code}
+⌘end{hebrew}
+
+Figure~☝{Figure:gedit-mixed-traditional} shows what this might look on
+ an actual text editor.
+This may not seem too complicated, but a closer look
+ would reveal that the production and inspection of this ⌘LaTeX{}
+ is hindered by two or three annoying hidden issues.

+⌘caption{A Hebrew sentence containing a control sequence (without ⌘unisugar).}
+⌖{Figure:gedit-mixed-traditional}
+⌘end{figure}
+
+
+First, the two backslash characters in the figure are not really
+ ⌘emph{back}slashes.
+The reason is that Hebrew is written right-to-left, and the ⌘textbackslash{}
+ character leans in the text direction, and should therefore be considered
+ a ⌘emph{forward} slash in this context.
+
+The second annoyance is the distinction between the
+ two occurrences of this character:
+ the first is at the beginning of the control sequence ⌘verb+\LaTeX+,
+ denoting that the control sequence starts at that point.
+The second occurrence is at the end of the same control sequence,
+ with the purpose of
+ escaping the space that follows.
+This escape is required to prevent the control sequence from consuming
+ the spaces that follow.
+
+The distinction between the first and which is the last ``backslash''
+ is clear in the case that the enclosing sentence is
+ written left-to-right.
+ But, both humans and text processing devices may be confused
+ when the enclosing sentence is right-to-left.
+
+{⌘small⌘textsl
+(There is yet a third difficulty in the above sentence which I will
+ not address here.
+ The English forward slash character is used in Hebrew for separating the day,
+ month and
+ year components of a date.
+ This is natural, since dates involve digits, and these are written,
+ even in Hebrew, left to right.
+ Most Hebrew authors extrapolate this convention to the separation of
+ Hebrew words by a ``forward'' (left-leaning) slash as in the phrase
+ ⌘texthebrew{⌘fontspec{Courier New}%
+ ו/או
+ }%
+ in the above.
+ Other authors would right this phrase with the slash leaning in
+ the text direction, i.e.,
+ ⌘texthebrew{⌘fontspec{Courier New}%
+ ו⌘textbackslash{}או
+ }%
+ )}
+
+The fact that the ⌘command␣key character does not lean neither left nor right,
+ takes care of the first annoyance.
+
+The remedy for the second is simpler---use a pair of curly brackets
+ to mark the end of the control sequence.
+
+Thus, with ⌘unisugar, I would write:
+⌘begin{hebrew}
+⌘begin{code}
+⌘fontspec{Courier New}
+יהיה עליך לחשוב על משפט המכיל לפחות פקודת בקרה
+אחת ⏎ של
+⌘setLTR⌘verb+{}+LaTeX⌘command␣key{}⌘setRTL
+ו/או לוכסן בכדי להבין למה אני מתכוון.
+⌘end{code}
+⌘end{hebrew}
+
+Figure~☝{Figure:gedit-mixed-traditional} shows this sugared input as it
+ appears in the gedit editor.
+We can see that the entire control sequence phrase
+ is written left-to-right, with the escape character
+ first, and the pair of curly brackets last.

+
+Evidently, mixed directionality text is slightly easier and clearer.
+But we can do even better, if we allow Hebrew characters
+in control sequences.
+This is carried out by (a yet to be published) another package,
+ named ⌘texttt{sukkar}, which, relying on ⌘unisugar does precisely this
+ and more.
+Package ⌘texttt{sukkar} also translates many common ⌘LaTeX{}
+ commands to Hebrew, and since juxtaposition of words looks
+ weird in Hebrew, it uses the~⌘␣{} Unicode character
+ to separate words.
+With ⌘texttt{sukkar}
+ one can write, e.g.,
+⌘begin{hebrew}⌘codefont⌘command␣key⌘fontspec{Courier New}
+עשה⌘␣{}כותרת
+⌘end{hebrew}
+ instead of ⌘verb+\make_title+.
+
+
+§ Acknowledgements
+Will Robertson advised gave the advise of
+ using ⌘XeLaTeX{} and ⌘texttt{polyglossia}
+ to circumvent a bug of ⌘texttt{utf8x}.
+I pay tribute to Bruno Le Floch and Martin Scharrer who together
+ devised the mechanism that made it possible to
+ define a command which takes the rest of the line as argument.
+Martin Scharrer and Will Robertson encouraged me to work on this package.
+Vafa Khalighi
+ devotion to bidirectional text processing with ⌘LaTeX{}
+ was truly inspirational.
