Do you need printing facility for your
application written in J or just want
to print the contents of J session?
The print facility in J session is working
on Windows, but it just prints out the text
in black and white--there is no nice syntax
highlighting and much control of the layout.
It is much better to use Export Script, which
does syntax highlighting and uses web browser
and its more advanced printing layout controls.
To print from session:
- select session contents, or Ctrl+A for all
- paste into a new script window: Ctrl+N, Ctrl+V
- select from menu Edit|Export Script
Or if you want finer control, using Export dialog,
without copying to new script window,
- save current session, Ctrl+S
- enter in session:
load'export'
export_jexport_ jpath '~temp/2.ijx'
In fact the Edit|Export Script menu item
should not be disabled for session window,
it's quite useful.
