OT: Formatting Lisp code from the command line (was: First impressions of the specification) John Cowan 30 Mar 2013 21:13 UTC

I don't, but I would like to be able to run my code through the Emacs formatter for publication purposes. Does anyone know how to do this from the command line? I do have Emacs installed. > The line-up approach assumes fixed-width fonts, yes, but I don't see the > relevance of non-ASCII chars or encodings.

In any case, the line-up approach is relevant only to s-expressions, not to t-expressions, where the approach is definitely based on spaces and tabs only. -- John Cowan <xxxxxx@ccil.org> http://www.ccil.org/~cowan But no living man am I!
