Helpful tips for editing the docs

vim

Several of us that work on docs are old school vim users*

Entering unicode with digraphs

While in insert mode you can use these digraphs:

Setup	Sequence	Inserts
default	Control-K space space	non breaking space
default	Control-K < <	«
default	Control-K > >	»
dig nl 9252 " SYMBOL FOR NEWLINE	Control-K n l	␤

If not default, add the dig lines above to your ~/.vimrc.

For a full list of digraphs, see https://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/digraph.html, look for "digraph table".

* Listen, I learned how to use vi on the MTS system at RPI back in the 80s, I can't not use it at this point.
