Subject: Using show-paren-style function in elisp code
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2022 10:00:33 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <N5-79NL--3-2@tutanota.com> (raw)

Have written the following function to set `show-paren-style`.  Would it be possible to modify
the code in a way that also allows a user to use the style as an argument so that the function 
can be used in elisp code.  

Is there a standard way for a function to be used in elisp code, or is my plan viable in the way
described?


(defun view-parens ()
  "Visualise parentheses and expressions."
  (interactive)

  (let* ( (cseq '("bracemk" "expression" "mixed"))
          (csel  (completing-read "Visualise: " cseq nil t "mixed")) )

    (pcase csel
      ("bracemk"
       (setq 'show-paren-style 'parenthesis))
      ("expression"
       (setq 'show-paren-style 'expression))
      ("mixed"
       (setq 'show-paren-style 'mixed)) )))
