KIND can > be one of: > :LINE - Tab to column COLNUM. If already past COLNUM tab to the next > multiple of COLINC. > :SECTION - Same as :LINE, but count from the start of the current > section, not the start of the line. > :LINE-RELATIVE - Output COLNUM spaces, then tab to the next multiple of > COLINC. > :SECTION-RELATIVE - Same as :LINE-RELATIVE, but count from the start > of the current section, not the start of the line. ### Lambda list ```cl (sb-pretty::kind sb-pretty::colnum sb-pretty::colinc &optional stream) ```
