Suggest changing lisp-indent-function

See also #1601.

What is the significance of Emacs version 26? Doesn't the suggestion work in prior versions?

Nitpick: please honour the sentence-end-double-space setting in the project's dir-locals-file.

[raxod502]

.dir-locals-2.el support was added only in Emacs 26. I'll fix the sentence spacing, sorry about that.

[raxod502]

Wait, on second thought—the rest of the file also uses single spaces after periods! I could fix the rest of it as well, though.

Right, but there's never been something stopping users from modifying .dir-locals.el directly. My point is that the current wording suggests the entire recipe ((add-to-list ...) included) is specific to Emacs 26, when only the .dir-locals-2.el suggestion is.

Shouldn't code be marked up with tildes? I.e. ~indent-tabs-mode~, ~lisp-indent-function~, etc.

[raxod502]

The rest of the file uses = monospace rather than ~ code. I could change that, too, though.

Silliness aside, I'd like to know whether there's a good reason to use = for everything. If there isn't, then I'd prefer to use ~ where appropriate. This can, of course, be done at a later time, but if we agree on using ~, then we might as well use it for any new additions.

Actually, within many of my projects I've made an ad-hoc convention that ~...~ should be used as equivalent of <kbd>...</kbd> in Markdown. With a bit of customization, these tags will be properly exported both in HTML and in Info. So I'd like to keep ~...~ exclusively for keyboard shortcuts.

[basil-conto]

Fair enough.

[basil-conto]

If we really are going to go full common-lisp-indent-function (on which decision I've commented in #1601), wouldn't it make more sense to uncomment the correspoding dir-locals-file line?

By default, Emacs complains about the unsafe file-local variable, every time you open any file in the repository. That seems overly annoying, although my mind could be changed here.

Indeed, which is why I thought we were suggesting the safe-local-variable-values spiel. I realise now, though, that "normal" users (i.e. users not hacking on Swiper) deserve to not have to play with safe-local-variable-values in order to quietly read the Swiper sources.

[raxod502]

I changed the sentences to end with two spaces, replaced = with ~ where appropriate, and ditched the stuff about .dir-locals-2.el.

Thanks.
