Notes for users of versions before 1.1.0

Due to the implementation of macros, there are new character sequences which are interpreted by HelpSetMaker itself. They are:

• “((“ and “))” in macro calls.

• “{{“ and “}}” for referencing a macro parameter inside the macro's body.

• “|” as a seperator of macro parameters in the definition and in the call.

Note that the “|”-bar prints itself if it is used outside a macro call or the macro parameter list.

Furthermore, arrows are also built from character sequences which have been uninterpreted by HelpSetMaker before. For left (“←“) and right (“→”) arrows, the chosen description as “<-” and “->” is more or less the natural way of representing an arrow with the default set of characters. Up- (“↑”) and downward (“↓”) arrows use “$^” and “$v”, which should also be used only with very low density in normal texts...

To prevent HelpSetMaker from evaluating these character sequences and transform them into arrows, just prepend them with a backslash “\”.
