Getting lisp 'with' macros to indent correctly

Getting lisp 'with' macros to indent correctly

[jmckitrick]

I'm not sure if the indentation package changed, but forms like this:

(with-foo ()
  (bar))

used to indent 'bar' correctly.  Now the 'bar' sexp is lined up with
the arglist for 'with-foo'.  This should be a simple setting, but I
can't seem to find it.  Would someone point me in the right
direction?  Thanks!

Perhaps you're not in the right lisp mode?  


Otherwise, you can specify what indenting to do for new macros with:

   (put 'NEW-MACRO 'lisp-indent-function N)

N being the number of forms to indent "specially", in your case, it would be 1.

   (put 'with-foo 'lisp-indent-function 1) 


You can put these forms at the end of your sources:

;; Local Variables:
;; eval: (put 'with-foo 'lisp-indent-function 1) 
;; End:

Hmm.  I'll have to do some more digging.  I cleaned up my slime/lisp
editing code, and now I have this odd behavior, though once slime is
running it seems to work correctly.
