[comp.sys.xerox] Pretty-printing CLISP

tim@cstr.edinburgh.ac.uk (06/12/90)

I make some small use of the MIT LOOP macro in Common Lisp under
Medley.  After some investigation I've persuaded SEdit to format it
more-or-less correctly (basically copying the 'IL:CLISPWORD property
from symbols in the IL package to those in LISP).  But now the
standard pretty printer doesn't get it right -- if I say "PP FOO" and
FOO contains LOOP constructs then the keywords come out in bold, but
their layout is fairly random.  Does anyone know how I might go about
fixing this?

Did you also put a IL:CLISPWORD property on LOOP (analogous to that on
IL:FOR)?  If that doesn't work well enough for you, you can always put an
entry for LOOP on IL:PRETTYPRINTMACROS telling exactly how you want it
prettyprinted (a small matter of programming).
