<p>Needing to write an Algol-68 program, I thought to use TeXworks
as my editor of choice, but although it was easy to add the
Algol-68 compiler to the list of "typesetting" engines, the
compiler bauled (perfectly correctly) at my line-1 typesetting
engine pragmat :</p>
<blockquote>
<p>% !TeX Program=Algol-68</p>
</blockquote>
<p>To make this acceptable to the compiler, the pragmat itself would
have to be wrapped in PRAGMAT delimiters, as in :</p>
<blockquote>
<p>PRAGMAT % !TeX Program=Algol-68 PRAGMAT</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Is there any possibility, do you think, to make the syntax of the
line-1 typesetting engine programat more flexible, perhaps
defining it in terms of a regular expression to allow other
compiler syntaces to be supported ?</p>
