So you might use a tag like
```(```...```)```
? That would be good. We should settle on a convention for flagging
executable bits.

Yes I used parens a lot more than you did. But not for the right
reason – as I see it now.
Back then, I used (redundant) parens to draw the eye to sub-phrase
structure I wanted to emphasize.
The right reason:
If inline J code were consistently surrounded by (…) it would assist
machine-identification of code samples for re-execute or dissect.
(Plus of course drawing the eye to where it starts and ends.)
Short of writing my own NuVoc browser in J, that's not a thing I know
how to code yet … at least, not platform-independently. But someone
will find a way.

Yes, you put () in a lot of places in NuVoc, and I didn't. You were right.

I like the () convention for in-line J code. It has potentially huge
advantages for avoiding ambiguities, especially with trailing
punctuation.
When I get time (when…!) I'll retrofit it to the whole of NuVoc. If
the J community's code vigilantes don't get there ahead of me :-)

Dissect 3.7.4 released, and Labs at 1.0.90.
Dissect labs now use the () convention for J code.
Display of fill was seriously broken. If you have gone through the Labs
already you might want to look at the fill section of Dissect I again. It
has changed.
There is now a config file; you can save the current settings or revert
to
the saved settings.
On J8 only, there is a Help to take you to the Wiki page or to NuVoc.
Also,
F1 takes you to the Wiki page, and Shift+F1 takes you to NuVoc.
