I meant that if point is inside a string that is inside a list then it will prefer to find boundaries of the string, not the list. > If the list is enclosed in a string, does it mean this will return the > string, not the list? For a string enclosed in a list it returns the string. For a list enclosed in a string it returns the list. > IOW, what will it return in these two cases: > > (foo "bar baz" quux) > "foo (bar baz) guux" You can type 'C-M-u' (backward-up-list) on different positions (in a prog mode where strings are highlighted) to see its effect.
