[[String]] notation cannot produce a single-character string since it produces a [[scalar]] character instead. Using Ravel on a list of characters in quotes ensures it will be a [[vector]] of characters.

[[Function axis|Axis specification]] may accept either a [[vector]] of two or more adjacent [[axis]] [[Index|indices]], or a single non-integer value. If multiple axes are given, they are merged into one axis whose length is the product of their lengths. If only one value is given, a new axis of length 1 is inserted in the indicated "gap" between axes.

The ravel of an array <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>A</source> has shape <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>,×/⍴A</source> and shares elements with <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>A</source>. Thus Ravel may be modelled as a [[Reshape|reshaping]] function <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>{(×/⍴⍵)⍴⍵}</source>. The [[element]] with [[index]] [[vector]] <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>I</source> is moved to index <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>(⍴A)⊥I</source> in [[index origin]] 0, or <syntaxhighlight lang=apl inline>⎕IO+(⍴A)⊥I-⎕IO</source> in arbitrary index origin.

As with any reshaping, the result of Ravel has the same [[prototype]] as the argument.
