pprint-tab (Function)

Syntax:
— Function: pprint-tab kind colnum colinc &optional stream nil
Arguments and Values:

kind—one of :line, :section, :line-relative, or :section-relative.

colnum—a non-negative integer.

colinc—a non-negative integer.

stream—an output stream designator.

Description:

Specifies tabbing to stream as performed by the standard ‘~T’ format directive. If stream is a pretty printing stream and the value of *print-pretty* is true, tabbing is performed; otherwise, pprint-tab has no effect.

The arguments colnum and colinc correspond to the two parameters to ‘~T’ and are in terms of ems. The kind argument specifies the style of tabbing. It must be one of :line (tab as by ‘~T’), :section (tab as by ‘~:T’, but measuring horizontal positions relative to the start of the dynamically enclosing section), :line-relative (tab as by ‘~@T’), or :section-relative (tab as by ‘~:@T’, but measuring horizontal positions relative to the start of the dynamically enclosing section).

Exceptional Situations:

An error is signaled if kind is not one of :line, :section, :line-relative, or :section-relative.
