You would not find that translation to be satisfactory. There are many reasons parentheses arise in Lisp (and in sexps in general), and not all of them seem appropriate for mapping to indentation-delimited "blocks". Having said that, you might appreciate some of these editor presentation ideas: http://lemonodor.com/archives/001207.html In particular, see color-box mode¹. Note that the mode is read-only, but nice to look at nonetheless. Footnotes: ¹ http://www.foldr.org/~michaelw/emacs/ -- Steven E.
