pprint pprint-newline pprint-indent pprint-tab

(pprint object &optional stream) -- (pprint-newline kind &optional stream) -- (pprint-indent relative-to n &optional stream) -- (pprint-tab kind colnum colinc &optional stream)

pprint writes a fresh line and then object in its readable form, returning no values. The other three are the pretty printer's layout operators. A rontolisp stream carries no column, so only (pprint-newline :mandatory) does anything: it writes a newline when *print-pretty* is true. The three conditional kinds (:linear, :fill, :miser), pprint-indent and pprint-tab are accepted and do nothing, and *print-right-margin* / *print-miser-width* / *print-lines* are inert for the same reason -- text comes out as if the line were wide enough.
