I took the code from https://github.com/lachrymology/me/blob/master/.emacs.d/extras/algol-mode.el but upon a closer look it seems to originate from here: https://www.jemarch.net/algol68.html I'm cc'ing Jose E. Marchesi using the mail found on (presumibly) their website. Having a @gnu.org account makes me think that there shouldn't be copyright issues :-) I apologize for not searching better initially, I should have contacted Marchesi in the first place.
