Description

How would a student find out what >< means in CoCoA?
How to have manual pages for operators in CoCoA?

Here is an idea inspired by C++: can we give the page a title like operator ><?
Maybe there should be a page dedicated to all operators (perhaps a sort of index)?

it is currently called "shortcuts", if you have a better name feel free to change it, but remember to put "shortcuts" as a (search) key for those who are used to this name.

I think there were problems with such characters in TeX titles, I need to make an extensive test to know.

A page summarising all operators (aka "shortcuts") has been around for a while; deft use of keywords makes the page fairly easy to find.

Changing state to feedback.

The man page is much improved, and easier to find. Good enough for now; maybe experience will help improve it in the future.

Closing.

#6 Updated by John Abbott almost 10 years ago

Could we condense the syntax and description so that the pages occupies less vertical space?
