Hi,
I have changed GNU APL to accept (=ignore) HTML tags at the
beginning of an .apl file.
I also changed the )DUMP command to create a few HTML tags
at the beginning and at the end of an .apl file.
The net effect of these changes is that .apl files can now
be published on the web or directly displayed as APL code
in browsers without any changes. Once opened in the browser (say:
firefox) you can also generate PDF or Postscript
files
(using File→Print→Print-to-file in firefox).
For this to work, I had to (HTML-) comment out the first
line of the .apl file. It used to be something like:
#!/usr/local/bin/apl
--script
but is now something like:
<!--
#!/usr/local/bin/apl --script -->
So if you want to invoke an .apl file directly (i.e.
without starting GNU APL and )LOADing the file) or as CGI
script then you need
to remove the <!--
and -->
(and, as before, change the file permission to 'executable').
