<br><br>'''Alphabets'''
<br><br>
Notionally, Algol 68 source is written in two alphabets. The reserved words, mode indicants (type names) and operators that are non-symbolic (.e.g. '''and''', '''or''', ...) are generally referred to as "bold words" and usually shown in a bold font in literature. Words that are identifiers (used for "variable" names, procedure names, structure member names, ...) are in a separate, non-bold font.<br>
The [https://www.softwarepreservation.org/projects/ALGOL/manual/a68s.txt/view Manual for CMU ALGOL 68S (on softwarepreservation.org)] refers to the non-bold words as being in timid face.
