# Use of standard form in .wl package

In a .wl package, i use the package notation but it is presented as inputform and it is consequently not very easy to read.

Notation[ParsedBoxWrapper[SubsuperscriptBox["P", "b1_", "b2_"]] \[DoubleLongLeftRightArrow] ParsedBoxWrapper[RowBox[{"MatPassage", "[", RowBox[{"b1_", ",", "b2_"}], "]"}]]]


Is it possible to use the standard form presentation in a .wl package and if yes, how can i transform the lines in inputform in standard form?

Thanks a lot for your help

• Ctrl+Shift+N works well indeed. But, the altercations that I can conduct with Ctrl+Shift+N are not preserved after having saved my .wl package. How can I preserve this formatting ? – Bendesarts Apr 6 '17 at 20:19
• impossible in .wl – Rolf Mertig Apr 6 '17 at 20:24
• it is a pity for visualizing the lines that use my notation package – Bendesarts Apr 6 '17 at 20:26
• Lots of these characters are built into Mathematica so a standard text editor won't have them. You can open and edit .m and .wl in Mathematica though. – b3m2a1 Apr 6 '17 at 20:31

You can't / it is not worth using Notation package with .m/.wl files.
You can develop your package in a .nb file if you are going to only work with the FrontEnd. See NotebookEvaluate and be aware of subtle issues: Global context seems to be shared between kernels when using Clear?
