Subject: Pretty-printing lists (adding newlines and indent)
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:43:55 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <874on75etg.fsf@iki.fi> (raw)
Is there an easy way to pretty-print lists in Emacs Lisp? I mean adding
newlines and indents like in the inferior-emacs-lisp-mode (M-x ielm):
ELISP> '((a1 a2) (b1 (1 2 3 4 5)) (c1 c2))
((a1 a2)
(b1
(1 2 3 4 5))
(c1 c2))
I have a potentially big multi-level hierarchical list data which I'd
like to PRIN1 to a buffer. Having the whole list as a single line is
ugly and unreadable.
