In Keynote and other iWork apps, it is possible to enter formulas (and text) in LaTeX. This is an immensely valuable feature. But...
- How can I enter an astronomical (or other) symbol, via Unicode or by other means, directly in a LaTeX formula (ie. without copying and pasting from the Character Viewer — which doesn’t work anyway directly in the LaTeX formula editor within Keynote)?
- For example, I wish to get the Mars symbol ♂ or the Venus symbol ♀ by entering
\mars
or\venus
.
- For example, I wish to get the Mars symbol ♂ or the Venus symbol ♀ by entering
This Apple page claims that one can also enter (ASCII) Unicode characters, but no indication is given there, in the blahtex documentation, or anywhere else about how to enter a Unicode character.
I’d also be happy with any non-Unicode route that allows me to enter such characters directly within the LaTeX coding within Keynote. Any approach by which I could use any of the astronomical symbols in the LaTeX Comprehensive Symbol List would be a dream.
