That wouldn't be enough, because even DrRacket's indentation working properly with a `racket:text<%>` and a language's get-info function isn't enough. One thing we would still need would be a general way for libraries to specify indentation for functions and macros, so that when this library is required, any language and editor can look at the library's specification, even if neither the language nor the editor have any rules about this library. How would a library express indentation rules? Would indentation rules meant for s-expression languages be useful in at-exp or sweet-exp notations? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
