Subject: Comparing against the single-quote symbol '
Date: Tue, 10 Jun 2008 09:50:33 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <59b99487-d20b-4381-8a11-6d8b7d31f4ad@d45g2000hsc.googlegroups.com> (raw)
How do I explicitly compare against the single-quote symbol ' in emacs
lisp programs?
I thought I could use this expression
(equal prefix \')
where the value the symbol `prefix' is
\'
but \' is not allowed in lisp-code; it complains about void variable
\'
I also get extraordinary annoyed about the behaviour of (accidentally)
evaluating
'(
It automatically hides the rest of the buffer and remembers this state
when I open it again. I think it has something to do with buffer
visibility.
Thanks in advance,
Nordlöw
