Hi, I have a bug which is kind of sweet, but it make the built in Emacs unusable :slight\_smile: The gaps between the characters in the editor is so huge that text becomes fuzzy. See picture below. I thought is might be… --- ## [Extracting part of a clause body into a new predicate](https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/extracting-part-of-a-clause-body-into-a-new-predicate/6830)

Hi all, Following a recent discussion on the emacs-devel mailing list, I’ve added a way in Sweep to extract a goal from the body of a clause into a separate predicate. That can be useful when you want to reuse a comple… --- ## [PceEmacs says predicate is unreferenced](https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/pceemacs-says-predicate-is-unreferenced/6722)

In short: Is there a way of convincing PceEmacs that a predicate is used, when PceEmacs has decided otherwise? More detail: PceEmacs flags unused predicates, and is pretty good at detecting partial application of pred… --- ## [Changes in Sweep's emulation of PceEmacs highlighting](https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/changes-in-sweeps-emulation-of-pceemacs-highlighting/6655)

This is a deprecation notice for users of Sweep (the GNU Emacs package for SWI-Prolog) that rely on the sweeprolog-faces-style option to have Sweep mimic the highlighting provided by PceEmacs: Currently, Sweep provides … --- ## [Extending xpce/emacs](https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/extending-xpce-emacs/6648)

Given that no other editor seems to have SWI-Prolog language integration as complete as PceEmacs, I’d like to better understand how to customize it (to add features I miss from other editors).

Hey all, Last week the Emacs package Sweep got a new “term search” feature that lets you interactively search through Prolog buffers by giving a search term and finding matching terms that are subsumed by it. I’ve made… --- ## [Ann: sweep (Emacs interface) version 0.8.0](https://swi-prolog.discourse.group/t/ann-sweep-emacs-interface-version-0-8-0/5888)

Hey all, Version 0.8.0 of sweep, the SWI-Prolog Emacs integration package, is out and available for installation with M-x package-install sweeprolog (or M-x package-update sweeprolog) inside Emacs.

Hi all, Some updates regarding sweep: As a reminder, sweep is a new GNU Emacs interface for working with SWI-Prolog code.

I want to add a new predicate (\<--)/2 similar to (--\>)/2 or (:-)/2. I use it in this library with the term\_expansion/2. Unfortunately, the built-in prolog editor does not treat this predicate as a built-in (--\>)/2.

Hi all, I’ve been working for the past couple of weeks on a little project for improving the integration of SWI-Prolog with GNU Emacs.

Hi, I go back and forth from SWI to Emacs (either Aquamacs, or Emacs on Windows and Linux) to do editing and interacting with the listener. I have two unrelated issues to raise.

Today I noticed that pressing “;” when running a query no longer seemed to work in emacs and I am sure it used to. It runs fine from the terminal but not after compiling the buffer and being placed into the comint buffer…
