I have always felt as though anybody who honestly claims the moniker of Unix/GNU/Linux hacker is proficient with (X)emacs. I am aspiring to gain at least the pretense of such proficiency. I started looking at this web page http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/pki/nss/nss-guidelines.html in different editors. I don't like the layout of the page because I can't get it to print nicely. One feature of code I value is indentation. The code which I got when I saved was not indented, and it is rather complex. I finally decided Xemacs was to tool to use. Indeed it does have some very nice html parsing capabilities. I came to realize it would be nice to be able to run a "macro" which would go through each line of code performing an operation on that code. I tried to do this with a plain macro, and it didn't seem possible. Sure, I could just tell it to repeat for as many times as there are lines. I am interested in doing this more more programmatically. This entails the use of Lisp, if I understand correctly. I haven't the foggiest idea of how to get started on this project. I don't want to learn an entire programming language today. I just want enough grounding to iterate through a text file processing each line. Does anybody know how to do this?
