The Visual LISP code formatter can position elements of long lists into columns.
This style is appropriate for formal arguments in defun, lambda, or quoted lists containing more than five elements. The Long List format style applies to lists that do not fit on a single line (within the Right Text Margin).
For example, the following text:
(list "1/32" "1/16" "1/8" "1/4" "3/8" "1/2" "5/8" "3/4" "7/8" "1" "1 1/4" "1 1/2" "1 3/4" "2")
would be displayed as:
(list "1/32" "1/16" "1/8" "1/4" "3/8" "1/2" "5/8" "3/4" "7/8" "1" "1 1/4" "1 1/2" "1 3/4" "2" )
The Long List format style is set in the Format Options dialog box. Click More Options and select one of the available options to apply when formatting code in the text editor.
Single column formatting Items are formatted into a single column.
Items are formatted into a single column.
(list "1/32" "1/16" … "2") (list "1/32" "1/16" … "2" )
Items are formatted into two columns.
(list "1/32" "1/16" … "2") (list "1/32" "1/16" … "2" )
Items are formatted equally across multiple columns and rows.
(list "1/32" "1/16" … "2") (list "1/32" … "1/16" … … "2" )
Items are formatted across multiple columns and rows. The columns are compressed to fit within the specified right margin of the text editor.
(list "1/32" "1/16" … "2") (list "1/32" … "1/16" … … "2" )
