Suppose I have a region like the following
'28' : ( '\leftparen', 'cmr10'),
'5D' : ( ']', 'cmr10'),
'\oint' : ( 'cmex10', '49'),
'\bigodot' : ( 'cmex10', '4B'),
'\bigoplus' : ( 'cmex10', '4D'),
Only one ':' per line.
Is there an easy wan in emacs to get the code to align the : symbols,
ie
'28' : ( '\leftparen', 'cmr10'),
'5D' : ( ']', 'cmr10'),
'\oint' : ( 'cmex10', '49'),
'\bigodot' : ( 'cmex10', '4B'),
'\bigoplus' : ( 'cmex10', '4D'),
Thanks,
John Hunter

I feel the same way. I've been using nothing but emacs for 6 or 7
years for everything I do on a computer, but this little trick escaped
my notice and is very useful!
