Hi,
thank you for your insight.
⍝ However I'm not convinced.
⍝ Comparing expr. 1 (≡ 2)
(⊂1 1)⍴ ¨2 2⍴1
1 1
1 1
⍝ to expr. 2 (≡ 3)
⊂¨(⊂1 1)⍴ ¨2 2⍴1
1 1
1 1
⍝ I would say the 'missing' space line is a bug.
⍝ The additional vertical space in expr. 2 is due to increasing depth.
⍝ But "removing" the horizontal space line makes viewing the output
confusing.
⍝ For much more complex expressions it gets even counter intuitive.
⍝ It's basically about 'horizontal' vs 'vertical' formatting.

I would think what APLX or Dialog do is somewhat irrelevant. I
believe GNU APL is treating IBM APL 2 as the standard to be matched.

I tried the same examples in APL/X and Dyalog APL.
APL/X seems to give the same results as GNU APL: but both enclose
are indented right by one column
But Dyalog APL has quite a different result: no blank lines
between rows.

Hi again,
checking the same in IBM APL2, the behaviour of GNU APL seems
correct.
(see attached Screenshot).

Hi Hans-Peter,
thanks, I will look into this.
The general problem is that the rules how nested values with
rank ≥ 2 should
be displayed are, at least as far as I know, nowhere specified
in a formal fashion.
From old APL 1 we know that the higher dimensions (> 2) of a
not-nested value
shall be separated by a number of empty lines, but we don't
really know, for example,
how these separator lines should be handled when the value is
being enclosed.
To me it is not clear if there is a line missing in *⊂¨2 2 ⍴ e*
or if there maybe is a line
too much in *⊂2 2 ⍴ e* (even though that way it looks a little
nicer).
Best Regards,
Jürgen
