[XeTeX] "/" character in Velthuis TECkit mapping

[John Was]

Hello

If you wanted TeX to be able to end a line with /, you could add to the
definition thus:

\def\slash{{\fontspec{Sanskrit 2003}/\hskip 1sp}}

And if this is coming up frequently, you could select a character that you
never use and make it active.  For example, supposing you never use the £
sign (unicode 00A3):

\catcode"00A3=\active
\def£{\slash}

That would let you type £ whenever you want to print / (Any other Unicode
character would do - you would probably want to choose one that you can
type easily.)

Best wishes

John  🇪🇺
