[cl-who-devel] Evaluating forms inside of with-html-output-to-string

[Andrew Pennebaker]

Thanks for suggesting (str).

The correct code (without importing the cl-who package):

(cl-who:with-html-output-to-string (*standard-output* nil :prologue nil
:indent t)
(:p (cl-who:str (concatenate 'string "abc" "def"))))

The current docs <http://weitz.de/cl-who/#str> don't say anything about
(format nil) not working inside of with-html-output-to-string; they just say
that (str) has no binding. A simple notice would aid new Lispers, myself
included.

Cheers,
