Thank you, David and Simon,

I see there's no straightforward solution, so I'll stick with the standard
syntax.

best wishes,

I can understand that wish, but if I may give some advice from experience: even if \
it's partially possible, it's generally better to not abbreviate and stay with \
standard syntax.<br> It's easier to maintain, easier to share and easier for editors \
to highlight, and those advantages eventually outweigh the few more keystrokes you \
have to make.<br> <br>
Best, Simon<br>
