Re: [Bug-apl] try-GNU-APL

[Dr . Jürgen Sauermann]

Hi Blake,

there is an input field (after the text "APL Input:") at the bottom of the page.
You enter your APL command or _expression_ into that field and then press enter
on your keyboard or push the button labelled "Enter". The text entered then goes
straight to the GNU APL interpreter.

If your keyboard is configured accordingly, then you move the cursor over the input
field (so that it gets the input focus) and then simply type the APL characters (using Ctrl-
or Alt- or whatever your keyboard configuration requires). The normal keyboard
configuration for GNU APL should do it.

Without a proper keyboard configuration you can first enter command ]keyb to
display an APL keyboard in the APL output. From that output you can then copy
and paste individual APL characters to the input field (in my browser you mark the text
and then copy it with the middle mouse button, like it is commonly done in X-based systems).

Likewise you can copy and paste longer APL input lines from other web pages that display
APL code (in UTF-8 encoding).

Best Regards,
/// Jürgen

Interesting, but I can't figure out how to input APL characters.

Hi,

inspired by Dyalog's https://tryapl.org/ I have set up a small server
with try-GNU-APL. Not as fancy as tryapl.org, but at least something.

The URI is:

http://juergen-sauermann.de/try-GNU-APL

The code for the entire server is rather small and stored in the
latest SVN 1131 (subdir websocket).

Enjoy,
