When you type ->
in the front end, it is automatically replaced with the \[Rule]
character. Similarly, when you type <=
, it is replaced automatically with \[LessEqual]
, and >=
is replaced with \[GreaterEqual]
.
Is it possible to disable these replacements? I occasionally run a tutorial for students who are utterly new to Mathematica, where I show example code on a screen and they have to type it in to their own machines and then modify it to do certain things. Occasionally, students will get confused when they see special characters such as \[Rule]
on my screen, and not know that they should type ->
instead. It would be helpful if I could disable this auto-replacement on my screen in order to avoid such confusion.
