Is there a way, in the current or upcoming version of Spell Catcher X, to use "special characters" like RightArrow, Tab, Del as part of glossary entries? In looking for this feature I found a glowing February 2004 review of Spell Catcher that mentions it couldn't do it... but hopefully this is outdated information. :->

Example: when doing light html markup I'd like to use a shorthand expansion to write a beginning paragraph tag <p>, then write the ending tag </p>, and then backspace to the point between them where I can insert my text.

Good luck with the new version.

No, there's no way at the moment, but I've had this request before. Just had to take a back-burner to all the other features that were added.

Someday, can't promise when...
