To use it, prefix a chat message by <source lang=apl inline>⍞←</source>, but note that only the first line of the result will come back. Prefix with <source lang=apl inline>⎕←</source> or <source lang=apl inline>⋄</source> for boxed display and multi-line results. Use <source lang=apl inline>]</source> to prefix user commands (without <source lang=apl inline>⍞←</source> or <source lang=apl inline>⎕←</source> or <source lang=apl inline>⋄</source>), including e.g. <source lang=apl inline>]help ⍣</source> for help on the <source lang=apl inline>⍣</source> glyph etc. Do not use markdown, but fixed-width (4 or more initial spaces, which can be inserted by pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd>) is fine. This also ensures proper rendering with monospace font and avoids interpretation of APL symbols as markdown. | ||
