@cindex symbol, prettifying
@code{prettify-symbols-mode} and @code{global-prettify-symbols-mode}
are two minor modes (@pxref{Minor Modes}) that can display specified
symbols as composed characters. For instance, in Emacs Lisp mode
(@pxref{Lisp Eval}), this mode will replace the string ``lambda'' with
the Greek lambda character.
@findex prettify-symbols-mode
@vindex prettify-symbols-alist
When Prettify Symbols mode and Font Lock mode (@pxref{Font Lock}) are
enabled, symbols are prettified (displayed as composed characters)
according to the rules in @code{prettify-symbols-alist}, which are
locally defined by major modes (@pxref{Major Modes}) supporting
prettifying. To add further customizations for a given major mode,
you can modify @code{prettify-symbols-alist}. For example:
@example
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook
(lambda ()
(push '("<=" . ?≤) prettify-symbols-alist)))
@end example
@findex global-prettify-symbols-mode
You can enable this mode locally in desired buffers, or use
@code{global-prettify-symbols-mode} to enable it for all modes that
support it.

@findex prettify-symbols-mode
Prettify Symbols mode is a buffer-local minor mode that replaces
certain strings with more ``attractive'' versions for display
purposes. For example, in Emacs Lisp mode, it replaces the string
``lambda'' with the Greek lambda character. You may wish to use this
in non-programming modes as well. You can customize the mode by
adding more entries to @code{prettify-symbols-alist}. There is also a
global version, @code{global-prettify-symbols-mode}, which enables the
mode in all buffers that support it.
