</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">If you read the PDF version you will see we use
both the </font><font size="+3"><code>←</code></font><font
size="+1"><code> </code></font>and<font size="+1"><code> </code></font><font
size="+3"><code></code><code><code>↑</code></code></font><font
size="+1"><code><code> </code></code>as seen in Cuis.</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">For the HTML version, the one the reader may more
likely wants to copy and post code from, we use := and ^.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">What could be done is to add a paragraph
somewhere to warn the user the code in the html version can be
directly copied and pasted in Cuis' browser, and that's why the
assignment and return symbol are different.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">I think the best place is in a section in the
preface. Something named 'How to read the book'. It will talk
about:</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">- the difference of symbols</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">- the philosophy of the exercises with solutions
in annex</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">- any other point that will ease the experience
of the reader</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">I will add the section and initial writing, so
you can amend it at any time</font></p>
<p><font size="+1">Thanks for the feedback.<br>

<div>Hello Hilaire,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I got the idea of using the ↑ character instead of the ^
character in the example code boxes in the book.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Of course we'd have to explain to people that the ↑ character
is Cuises (Cuisi? Cuis's?) interpretation of the ^ character
meant to give more clarity to the return statement.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I got this idea thinking how the examples given in the
codeboxes differ from the ones shown in the cuis system browser.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Of course the second the user puts in a ^ character they'll
discover it in their own (and that has a lot of merit too) but I
feel someone who is reading without actually coding or copy
pasting stuff might think the example is for a different version
of the system or something.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>What do you think?</div>
