A back-quoted form is just like a quoted form, except every ,foo is substituted by the evaluation of foo.
(defvar foo 123) `(foo ,foo) => '(foo 123) They can be nested: `(foo `(foo ,,foo)) And lists can be directly interpolated: (defvar foo '(123 456)) `(foo ,foo) => '(foo (123 456)) `(foo ,@foo) => '(foo 123 456) You can do this to see how any form will expand: M-: (pp-to-string (macroexpand `(foo ,foo))) John _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
