Instead of adding the display lines to your translation table 9it would
be better to put them in a separate file, perhaps called unicode.dis and
then use a table list with this file as the first member. I may put this
file in the tables directory in svn. Page break, page end and linefill
can all be set with configuration files. Look at canonical.cfg. Page
break line end, etc. can be set with
\xhhhh Line fill will only accept an ASCII character at this point.
