The “smilie” package provides a very easy way to typeset emoticons in LaTeX:
\smiley{rose}
will output @}-;-'--- (even colored, rotated, …).
Just type
xelatex smiley.dtx
This will give you the documentation as well as the style file.
Even though the documentation depends on XeTeX, the package itself works under every LaTeX engine and can be created with
tex smiley.dtx
This package has not yet reachead a stable status, so the user intferface may change!
- Resolve kerning problem.
- Add much more smileys.
- Optional key=value input at command level: \smiley[usecolor]{happy}
Most of the shorthands were taken from The Canonical Smiley (and 1-Line Symbol) List by James Marshall, which is much bigger as the list of emoticons at Wikipedia.
