I found a big list of symbols and the source here. I would like to simply do this: place each command on a new line, and evaluate the command in the first column, and print the command in the second column. Like this:

α \A
β \B
...

I just made those commands up, but essentially that. Print the output next to the command.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\begin{document}

\A --- \begin{verbatim} A \end{verbatim}

\aa --- \begin{verbatim} aa \end{verbatim}

\AA --- \begin{verbatim} AA \end{verbatim}

\AAaleph --- \begin{verbatim} AAaleph \end{verbatim}

\AAayin --- \begin{verbatim} AAayin \end{verbatim}

\AAbeth --- \begin{verbatim} AAbeth \end{verbatim}

\AAcht --- \begin{verbatim} AAcht \end{verbatim}

\AAdaleth --- \begin{verbatim} AAdaleth \end{verbatim}

\AAhe --- \begin{verbatim} AAhe \end{verbatim}

\AAhelmet --- \begin{verbatim} AAhelmet \end{verbatim}

\AAheth --- \begin{verbatim} AAheth \end{verbatim}

\AAkaph --- \begin{verbatim} AAkaph \end{verbatim}

\AAlamed --- \begin{verbatim} AAlamed \end{verbatim}

\Aaleph --- \begin{verbatim} Aaleph \end{verbatim}

\AApe --- \begin{verbatim} AApe \end{verbatim}

\AAqoph --- \begin{verbatim} AAqoph \end{verbatim}

\AAresh --- \begin{verbatim} AAresh \end{verbatim}

\AAsade --- \begin{verbatim} AAsade \end{verbatim}

\Aayin --- \begin{verbatim} Aayin \end{verbatim}

\AAyod --- \begin{verbatim} AAyod \end{verbatim}

\AB --- \begin{verbatim} AB \end{verbatim}

\Abeth --- \begin{verbatim} Abeth \end{verbatim}

\ac --- \begin{verbatim} ac \end{verbatim}

\AC --- \begin{verbatim} AC \end{verbatim}
\end{document}

But it didn't work.

It would also be interesting to know, perhaps preferable, to log the output to the console as it is compiling. Wondering how to do that.

  • your question isn't that clear (you can look at the source of the file to see how it prints command names, but also how are we supposed to use the supplied example, since almost all the commands are undefined? – David Carlisle Jun 16 '19 at 14:02
  • the tex source of the comprehensive symlist is https://ctan.org/tex-archive/info/symbols/comprehensive/source – David Carlisle Jun 16 '19 at 14:16
  • I would also add http://detexify.kirelabs.org/ to the list –  Jun 16 '19 at 15:40

I'm not sure I understand the question but this makes a log of

\alpha: \mathchar"10B
\beta: \mathchar"10C
\longrightarrow: \long macro:->\DOTSB \protect \relbar \protect \joinrel \right
arrow

and output

enter image description here

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}

\def\zz#1{\par
\typeout{\string#1: \meaning#1}%
\makebox[5cm][l]{\texttt{\string#1}}\mbox{$#1$}\par}

\begin{document}

\zz\alpha
\zz\beta
\zz\longrightarrow
\end{document}

  • I want the log output to be exactly this: α \alpha, not \alpha: \mathchar"10B. – Lance Jun 16 '19 at 18:10
  • typeout unicode latex – Lance Jun 16 '19 at 18:24
  • This isn't working \def\zz#1{\typeout{\string#1: #1}\texttt{\string#1}:$#1$}. It shows \alpha:\alpha not \alpha:α. – Lance Jun 16 '19 at 18:25
  • @LancePollard but if you are using pdflatex to typeset the results there is no unicode definitions involved most of the command differences in the comprehensive symbol document relate to font changes not unicode slots. – David Carlisle Jun 16 '19 at 18:26

    @LancePollard If you are just looking for a mapping between unicode slots and tex names look in unicode-math's unicode-math-table.tex but we had this conversation before https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/494340/how-to-print-out-unicode-character-and-command-of-every-character-in-book#comment1248006_494340 – David Carlisle Jun 16 '19 at 18:28
