=== Chat bot === | |||
The room features a chat bot which can evaluate safe APL. To use it, prefix a chat message, inline code, or a code block with <source lang=apl inline>⋄</source>. Using markdown (for example <source lang=md inline>`⋄ 2+3`</source>) or fixed-width (4 or more initial spaces on each line, which can be inserted by pressing <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd>) is recommended to ensures proper rendering with monospace font, and avoids interpretation of APL symbols as markdown. | |||
