Does anyone out there have good tools for producing attractive listings of Lisp (especially Common Lisp) programs? We are using vgrind with our Imagen, with a lisp entry added to vgrindef that recognizes defun/defmacro for marginal titling and recognizes all the Common Lisp keywords. To make this work we modified vfontedpr to accept a list of legal characters for identifiers (otherwise it thinks such common identifier characters as '-' are delimiters), to NOT do special font shifts on '*' and on '/' if they're in the id-character table, and to handle much larger tables of keywords. The result is reasonable, BUT it doesn't produce proper indentation -- proportionally spaced fonts make that hard. Has anyone got tools that CAN handle nice Lisp indentation? I would really prefer not to have to get quite that well acquainted with troff... -- scott preece gould/csd - urbana ihnp4!uiucdcs!ccvaxa!preece

I missed the original posting, but ...
We've got a crude shell script called "lb" (lisp beautifier, what else?)
that runs lisp code through the pretty-printer. It collects comments
amid objects, and occasionally seems to add a superfluous blank line,
but is still handy. Anybody who wants it can have it.
