</SUMMARY>
<BODY>
<p>
By default, GNU Emacs does an excellent job indenting Common Lisp code.
It can be taught how to indent new defining forms
and special rules for domain specific languages.
Each project may have some file to customize indentation; use it.
Common Lisp indentation in Emacs is provided by the cl-indent library.
The latest version of cl-indent is packaged with
<a HREF="http://www.common-lisp.net/project/slime/">SLIME</a>
(under contrib/slime-cl-indent.el). After installing SLIME, set up Emacs
to load SLIME automatically using
<a HREF="http://www.common-lisp.net/project/slime/doc/html/Loading-Contribs.html">these instructions</a>, adding slime-indentation to the list of
contrib libraries to be loaded in the call to slime-setup.
</p>
<p>
Ideally, use the default indentation settings provided by
slime-indentation. If necessary, customize indentation parameters to
maintain a consistent indentation style throughout an existing project.
Parameters can be customized using the :variables setting in
define-common-lisp-style. Indentation of specific forms can be
customized using the :indentation setting of define-common-lisp-style.
This is particularly useful when creating forms that behave like macros
or special operators that are indented differently than standard
function calls (e.g. defun, labels, or let). Add a
<a HREF="http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Hooks.html">hook</a> to 'lisp-mode-hook that calls common-lisp-set-style to set
the appropriate style automatically.
