Typesetting APL dialects
Pedro de Almeida · ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad · 2004
Solutions to the problem of typesetting APL dialects were so far severely constrained, for they always relied on specific transliteration schemes or workspaces for automatic transliteration available for only a few interpreters. In this article I introduce an alternative solution to the problem of typesetting APL dialects which does not require transliteration of primitives. Instead, I implement a direct typesetting approach using a Type 1 (or outline) APL font, an encoding vector, and a LATEX package named listings. I finally present a series of examples in order to illustrate the typesetting of APL snippets, code segments, lists of standing files, and their straightforward integration into a document.
