Subject: How to analyze the value of `mode-line-misc-info'?
Date: Mon, 14 Feb 2022 17:45:07 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878rudmm7g.fsf@laposte.net> (raw)
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
ELISP> mode-line-misc-info
((global-mode-string
("" global-mode-string " ")))
#+end_src
I don’t understand why there are two nested lists. I thought the second
list was used as a conditional statement (e.g. `global-mode-string'
returns non-`nil') to finally concatenate several strings.
