Help talk:Macrons

message: In my opinion there is too much HTML used to make the outlines for the explanations of how to type macrons. Is there a way we could preserve the outline format without using so much or any HTML? It would make editing for people not familiar with HTML more pleasant. Thanks.

replies: text: If you don't care so much about the ABC, I, II, III type of outlines, you can do something simple like this:
# head1
## Sub1
## Sub2
### SubSub1
## Sub3
# head2
## Sub4
But, with very many nested levels, it doesn't win any awards for looks.  Neier 01:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm using the standard US International keyboard with dead keys, on which AltGr-Shift-3 or AltGr-# is a dead key for the macron; i.e. right Alt key + shift + 3/#, release, then type the vowel you want a macron over. --Jim Henry (talk) 22:49, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I found the same keystrokes on another page and the screenshots look like Gnome (Linux) (and the keyboard there is indeed called "US International keyboard with Dead Keys" instead of just "US International") --Zom-B (talk) 07:26, 6 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I love the keyboard layout. I noticed a that one bug with the 'Ã', but that was not really all that bad, seeing as I almost never use acute accents anyway. Thanks to whoever designed it!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.115.12.153 (talk) 17:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: You don't need it. In the start menu search for "Character Map" or look for C:\Windows\System32\charmap.exe. The Unicode character set should be used. Alternatively you can use the ampersand entity ̄. Here is an example. (Āllēn → Āllēn) Happy editing. – allen四names 03:00, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

message: I happened to find JPMacron, which is "An Easy Way to Type Macrons for Windows". Is this worth adding in this page? (I tried it on Windows 7 and Windows XP, and it works well on both of them.) --Unnecessary stuff (talk) 19:47, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

message: And on Linux with an Alt+GR I can týpë lïkẽ thìs but I can't get a macron.  And no instructions?  Das ist Scheiße. --John Moser (talk) 20:52, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

message: Am I crazy or is there no way to type a macron on a fire tablet, kindle or other Amazon products? I've been copy pasting or using â which is inconvenient when writing about Sanskrit. Is this maybe an android thing? I don't have that problem with my iPhone. Iṣṭa Devatā (talk) 16:57, 10 June 2015 (UTC)
