Hi,

a very small question. I noticed in some theories,
"\<longleftrightarrow>" was replaced by "<->". Is there a specific
reason for this? Should I just prefer "<->" in future?

Best Regards,
Cornelius

There were many changes in the opposite direction: old ASCII syntax
replaced by Isabelle symbols. This is also mentioned in NEWS.

Where did you see new emergences of ASCII "<->" instead? It might have
been a mere accident, or an area of non-renovation.

Thanks. As described in the NEWS, I will now prefer \<longleftrightarrow>.

Wrong alarm; sorry. The afp correctly transitioned from <-> to
\<longleftrightarrow>. My private devel repo got slightly out of sync
with the afp and was missing that update. Everything is fine.

Thanks!
Cornelius
