In this article we describe the L^ATEX document style option apl.sty for typesetting documents containing passages in APL code. All symbols needed within a multi-vendor APL environment are provided. Currently the full symbol sets of the APL dialects APL2, Dyalog APL, I–APL, Sharp APL, and APL.68000 are supported. All APL symbols are constructed with the symbols of the standard L^ATEX font family. No additional fonts are needed. Standard L^ATEX commands can be used to change the size and type style of APL symbols. Automatic conversion of APL objects is achieved by a preprocessor written in APL. L^ATEX, apl.sty and the preprocessor bundled together provide an integrated high-quality APL publishing system.
