This is (yet another) code formatter for Emacs Lisp.
- Won’t format lines that end in
; nofmt - Focuses on the placement of lists and (mostly) ignores atoms
- Tries to break at
fill-column, but lines may exceed this number due to inline comments, long literals, trailing sequences of closed parens, or postprocessing (seeelfmt-autojoin-1for example) - Prefers “modern” Elisp (old-style backquotes will cause it to halt)
(defun elfmt--mend-line-p ()
"Whether to join the current line with the next.
This uses heuristics that disregard the contributions of trailing
comments, closing parentheses, and backslash abbreviations like
\\n, so lines may end up longer than `fill-column'."

(< (length sexp-str) (- fill-column (current-column))) ; mostly fits
(< (cl-count ?\( sexp-str) 5) ; visual complexity (i.e. nested parens)
