Subject: 'C-q C-j' looks ugly in code
Date: Fri, 26 Jul 2013 10:25:30 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <878v0td8xx.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi List,
assume I write elisp code to replace occurences of "^J" in a string with
the actual line-feeds, i.e. with C-q C-j.
That works, but looks really ugly in the code:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(if A
(if B
(if C
;; deeply indented code
(replace-string "^J" "
" nil beg end)
(message "C"))
(message "B"))
(message "A"))
#+end_src
Is there a way to write C-q C-j in source code that does not actually
inserts the line-feeds?

cheers,
Thorsten
