Typesetting APL with L A T E X
Andreas Geyer-Schulz, Josef Matulka, Gustaf Neumann · ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad · 1993
In this paper we present an APL publishing system for LAT E X which supports typesetting of APL publications and documents in a mixed hardware, multiple vendor APL environment. It requires minimal maintenance and is in the public domain. The system has two components, the LAT E X document style option apl.sty and the APL2TEX front end. apl.sty currently provides the full symbol sets of the APL dialects APL 2/370, APL 2/PC, Dyalog APL, I--- APL, Sharp APL, and APL .68000 Levels I and II. All APL symbols are constructed with the symbols of the standard LAT E X font family. No special fonts are needed. The APL2TEX front end is a workspace containing a preprocessor for converting APL objects to LAT E X logical document elements. APL2TEX is currently available for APL 2/370, APL 2/PC, Dyalog APL and APL .68000 Levels I and II.
