22.4.10 pprint-tab | Function
Syntax: pprint-tab kind colnum colinc `&optional` stream nil Arguments and Values: kind - one of `:line`, `:section`, `:line-relative`, or `:section-relative`. colnum - a non-negative integer. colinc - a non-negative integer. stream - an output stream designator. Description: Specifies tabbing to stream as performed by the standard `~T` format directive. If stream is a pretty printing stream and the value of *print-pretty* is true, tabbing is performed; otherwise, pprint-tab has no effect. The arguments colnum and colinc correspond to the two parameters to `~T` and are in terms of ems. The kind argument specifies the style of tabbing. It must be one of `:line` (tab as by `~T`), `:section` (tab as by `~:T`, but measuring horizontal positions relative to the start of the dynamically enclosing section), `:line-relative` (tab as by `~@T`), or `:section-relative` (tab as by `~:@T`, but measuring horizontal positions relative to the start of the dynamically enclosing section). Exceptional Situations: An error is signaled if kind is not one of `:line`, `:section`, `:line-relative`, or `:section-relative`. See Also: pprint-logical-block Allegro CL Implementation Details: None.
