Filling something that was pretty-printed destroys pretty-printing (duh). The problem remains. It is that `pp' prints a flat list using a very large width, which is inappropriate for buffer *Help* etc. One solution might be to have a variable controlling the max width (when possible) for pretty-printing, much as we have vars to control the print-length etc. > The lines in the *Help* buffer should respect `fill-column' as much as > possible, other things being equal. > emacs -Q > C-h v imagemagick-enabled-types >=20 > You see the value printed on a single line that is 493 chars wide! > That's ridiculous, and it does not play well with code that fits the > *Help* frame or window to its buffer text etc.
