macroexpand-1 and pretty-printing in SLIME

[JohnGraham]

Hi there. I can't seem to get pretty-printing to work in slime or "regular" lisp. I try just doing (macroepand-1 '(macro etc.)) at the REPL, as well as C-c RET at an expression I want to see expanded, but it always prints the macro expansion on a single line. I checked *print-pretty* and it's set to t. Anyone know what else I need to change to get macros to print out more legibly?

I'm using SBCL and emacs 22.2.1 with slime-2009-11-05, if they make any difference...

Well, that version is obviously a year old, so perhaps updating to a current version would help. On my system pretty printing just happens. I initialize slime with (possibly redundant):

Code: Select all

(slime-setup '(slime-fancy slime-autodoc slime-asdf slime-banner slime-indentation))

That seems to have done the trick - I was just using (slime-setup). Much nicer now. Cheers!
