I think I’m going to try to write my first Lisp code tonight. I need a macro for Emacs that’s something like “paste as multiline string.” I want it to turn several lines of text into several lines of text inside quotation marks with a plus at the beginning so that I can paste things like large SQL statements into my code without being forced to do the gruntwork of fixing them up myself. Surely it can’t be too hard.
