NewLeaf is designed to help the APL programmer to produce smart text output with a minimum of application code. The best way to cut down the amount of fussy detail is to set up a table of style definitions (called a Gallery) and re-use these as you need them.
For example, for a major heading, you might want a larger font, centred on the page, possibly with a page break before. For an APL function listing you will need your APL font, perhaps a small indent and some control over page-breaking. By setting up appropriate styles, you can hold all the necessary paragraph properties in one place, which make it easy to change (for example) your APL font.
