Thank you Emanuel, glad you found the post amusing.
Apart further into giggles, I would like to insert the text starting from the current
point to column position 62. But with the following code, the text is being inserted
before (point) rather than at (point).
(defun text-insert (text)
"Inserts text starting at cursor point."
(interactive)
(message "[text-insert] p %d" (point))
(insert text)
(forward-line) )
(defun bifurc ()
"Insert text at point"
(interactive)
(message "(line-beginning-position) (point) %d %d"
(line-beginning-position) (point))
(setq-local d (- (point) (line-beginning-position)))
(setq-local n (- 63 d))
(setq-local m (- 69 d))
(message "[bifurc] (m,n) %d %d %d" m n d)
(setq-local s (make-string n ?\;))
(text-insert s) )
