My substitution file nears completion. I'll pass it on when I'm done.
So far using substition to insert characters by name more or less works.
There are a few problems:
1) Some important Unicode characters can not be substituted. This includes
several variety of spaces and all the arrow characters.
2) Substitutions can not be against non-white space. Thus you can not use
a |sup3| substitution in your text. You also can not emphasize
substitutions.
I'll take a look at the code and see if there are obvious solutions to
these two problems.
