Overview

latex-pretty-symbols.el makes emacs display unicode characters instead of latex commands for a lot of the most usual symbols.

It basically contains a list of many latex commands, and their unicode counterparts, and makes emacs display the unicode symbol instead of the latex code. So \vDash, \Sigma, \leq etc displays nicely. It also converts some sub/super-scripts into equivalent unicode symbols, so e.g $a_1$ becomes $a₁$. It is highly reminiscent, and based on, some of the pretty-lambda code that is floating around.
