*print-readably*

dynamic varsince v0.0-927 clojure.core/*print-readably*Edit

Determines if strings are printed with quotes and escape characters. "Readably" means the printed string can be copy-pasted back into the reader to produce the same value.

Do not use directly. The following functions will set this flag appropriately:

true false
pr print
pr-str print-str
prn println
prn-str println-str

Source docstring:
When set to logical false, strings and characters will be printed with
non-alphanumeric characters converted to the appropriate escape sequences.

Defaults to true
