<P><B>Value Type:</B><P>

<P><B>Initial Value:</B><P>
<P>
<A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_i.htm#implementation-dependent"><I>implementation-dependent</I></A>, but the initial entries all use a special class of priorities that have the property that they are less than every priority that can be specified using <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_set_pp.htm#set-pprint-dispatch"><B>set-pprint-dispatch</B></A>, so that the initial contents of any entry can be overridden. <P>
<P><B>Description:</B><P>
<P>
The <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_p.htm#pprint_dispatch_table"><I>pprint dispatch table</I></A> which currently controls the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_p.htm#pretty_printer"><I>pretty printer</I></A>. <P>
<P><B>Examples:</B> None.

<A REL=DEFINITION HREF="v_pr_pre.htm#STprint-prettyST"><B>*print-pretty*</B></A>, <A REL=CHILD HREF="22_bad.htm">Section 22.2.1.4 (Pretty Print Dispatch Tables)</A> <P>
<P><B>Notes:</B><P>
<P>
The intent is that the initial <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_v.htm#value"><I>value</I></A> of this <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_v.htm#variable"><I>variable</I></A> should cause `traditional' <I>pretty printing</I> of <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#code"><I>code</I></A>. In general, however, you can put a value in <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="#STprint-pprint-dispatchST"><B>*print-pprint-dispatch*</B></A> that makes pretty-printed output look exactly like non-pretty-printed output. Setting <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="v_pr_pre.htm#STprint-prettyST"><B>*print-pretty*</B></A> to <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_t.htm#true"><I>true</I></A> just causes the functions contained in the <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="26_glo_c.htm#current_pprint_dispatch_table"><I>current pprint dispatch table</I></A> to have priority over normal <A REL=DEFINITION HREF="f_pr_obj.htm#print-object"><B>print-object</B></A> methods; it has no magic way of enforcing that those functions actually produce pretty output. For details, see <A REL=CHILD HREF="22_bad.htm">Section 22.2.1.4 (Pretty Print Dispatch Tables)</A>. <P>
