Ar an ceathrú lá de mí Méan Fómhair, scríobh Stephen J. Turnbull: I won’t bother. There are lots of other places where we assume ISO-8859-1, cf. the following on a Mule build: (let ((string "\xa9\xe3\xf7")) (mapcar* #'= (mapcar #'char-syntax string) (mapcar #'char-syntax (decode-coding-string string 'koi8-r)) (mapcar #'char-syntax (decode-coding-string string 'iso-8859-2)))) => (nil t nil) Or: (let ((string "\xa9\xe3\xf7")) (mapcar* #'= (mapcar #'canoncase string) (encode-coding-string (map 'string #'canoncase (decode-coding-string string 'koi8-r)) 'koi8-r) (encode-coding-string (map 'string #'canoncase (decode-coding-string string 'iso-8859-2)) 'iso-8859-2))) => (nil nil nil) These both reflect differences that make non-Mule XEmacs unpleasant to use with non-ISO-8859-1 fonts. If you’re doing this, you’re asking for irritation, and this #'format-time-string tick is the least of them. It doesn’t work, there need to be two backslashes for every one that is to appear in the output, and the documentation infrastructure doesn’t interpret single backslashes in the same way the Lisp reader does. I’ve committed a change to reflect that; thanks for your comments! -- “Apart from the nine-banded armadillo, man is the only natural host of Mycobacterium leprae, although it can be grown in the footpads of mice.” -- Kumar & Clark, Clinical Medicine, summarising improbable leprosy research _______________________________________________ XEmacs-Patches mailing list XEmacs-Patches(a)xemacs.org http://calypso.tux.org/mailman/listinfo/xemacs-patches
