Gene calls the underlined groups rotated infixes. With that in mind, it was an unconscious
decision to underline groups rather than individual entries. /Kip

Yes, underlining *is* a good idea in this article. I guess I'll go
with it for the book. (Nothing gets underlined that has a lo-minus in
it.)
I might have been inclined to underline just the array entries,
omitting the spaces, but it so happens that all underlined entries are
adjacent, and underlining as you've used it emphasises this. (Whether
it was Gene's original intention to do this is something I'll skip
over.)
I can see I'll need to print-out the entire Chat traffic on APWJ, to
have at hand as I typeset Edn2, and not just rely on the Wiki
endnotes.
NB: Note my comments on Tracy's discussion of Boggle.

Ian, thanks to Oleg's _great_ suggestion I replaced bold italics within
arrays by underlining. This preserves Eugene's intention, is easy to see
online and in print, and with monospacing (session metaphor) works better
across browsers (Google Chrome and Internet Explorer tested). /Kip

These are notes for Ian about my editing of Play172 Someone Just Moved!
Who Was It?
"Typesetting" is an important issue, because Eugene uses bold face in
_parts_ of arrays for pedagogical reasons. He also in one paragraph without
comment makes a meaningful distinction between monospace 2 and ordinary face
2 . My source for his use of typesetting is the pdf version of the article
from the zip mentioned in Chris's Overview of the editing project.
I therefore worked hard using MoinMoin formatting (sorry) to make the wiki
article "typesetting" match that of the pdf article, even though in-text
monospace (achieved with `...`) looks too short in the online article. If
you ask for the print version, that looks OK, as does a printout from the
print version.
I changed Eugene's use of bold face within arrays to bold italic, because
that is easier to see online and in print. Boldface within arrays was very
hard to distinguish in the pdf version.
There were minor corrections to the wiki text and one major correction,
namely two arrays were switched, and I switched them back. An example of a
minor correction was replacing the word "ten" by monospace x (left
argument). In two triangular tables rather then use bold face for column
and row headings I separated them from the body by "Ascii Box Characters"
|+- .
I expect it will be a challenge to get the article right for the book from
the wiki page, which is now as correct as I can make it.
