Subject: bug#12866: 24.3.50; (elisp) `%-Constructs': padded with spaces to the right or left?
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2012 16:35:02 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6AF52605E30148ED8B17B728582BD036@us.oracle.com> (raw)
The Info node says this near the top:
In any construct except `%%', you can add a decimal integer after the
`%' to specify a minimum field width. If the width is less, the field
is padded with spaces to the right.
From what I can see, it pads with spaces to the left of the field, not
the right. For example:
(set (make-local-variable 'mode-line-position) '("%40l"))
It seems to me that that pads the line number with spaces on the left,
not the right. But perhaps I'm missing something.
