The wiki style guide https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Style_Guide recommends using <tt></tt> for J code and names in ordinary text.
This usually works fine, though Pascal's page is focused on dot, which isn't going to show well anyway. You could use "." but for other expressions there is confusion when the expression includes rank or whether "foo" means the same as <tt>foo</tt>. If dot is wrapped in <tt></tt> it usually appears bolder than in plain text. You could also set it off with spaces, i.e. <tt> . </tt> and add the name the first time it appears: <tt> . </tt> (dot) On Sun, Dec 1, 2019 at 2:18 PM Devon McCormick <[email protected]> wrote: > OK - I edited the linked-to page to better separate the code from the > exposition, as well as putting the J conjunction names in double quotes; > however, putting J expressions in quotes looks funny for expressions > containing the rank operator so I did not quote those. > > On Sun, Dec 1, 2019 at 4:58 PM Henry Rich <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I had done that earlier, but Chris showed me that the link was not > > broken, but just out of date.
