Do you mean something other than standard:
Correct, something other than "%s".
```
(message "%s" my-list)
```
I wrote some quite involved function to take a list of variables and
print them to Messages buffer, formatting them nicely. I use it when
debugging and writing code. However I am not sure that is what you
are
looking for or not?
What is the biggest problem with printing lists that you have
encountered?
I don't have any problem printing simple list. Well, maybe one case.
If the list is too long (because you only get some part of it in
Messages buffer). In that case, I do my function in fundamental-mode
with C-j (I think?) which put the results in the same buffer. Then you
can do <TAB> (or maybe it's <RET>?) and that will expand to the full
result, if you need to look at that.
But the reason I wrote my function was because I wanted to provide short
list of (separate) variables and have them print out to nicely formatted
message as intermediate structure code and/or for debugging purposes.
Which is nothing to do with lists, per say.
Cheers always sounds better on a friday. :)
You make me thirsty all of a sudden! :)
