Typesetting APL with --the APL front end APL2TEX

Abstract

An APL publishing system is presented for LaTeX 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 LaTeX document style option apl.sty and the APL2TEX front end. The option apl.sty provides the full symbol sets of the APL dialects APL2/370, APL2/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 LaTeX font family. No special fonts are needed. The APL2TEX front end is a workspace containing a preprocessor for converting APL objects to LaTeX logical document elements. APL2TEX is currently available for APL2/370, APL2/PC, Dyalog APL and APL.68000 Levels I and II. (15 Refs.)
