— Function: make-gutter-specifier spec-list

Return a new gutter specifier object with the given specification list. spec-list can be a list of specifications (each of which is a cons of a locale and a list of instantiators), a single instantiator, or a list of instantiators. See Specifiers, for more information about specifiers.

Gutter specifiers are used to specify the format of a gutter. The values of the variables default-gutter, top-gutter, left-gutter, right-gutter, and bottom-gutter are always gutter specifiers.

Valid gutter instantiators are called "gutter descriptors" and are either strings or property-lists of strings. See default-gutter for a description of the exact format.

— Function: make-gutter-size-specifier spec-list

Return a new gutter-size specifier object with the given spec list. spec-list can be a list of specifications (each of which is a cons of a locale and a list of instantiators), a single instantiator, or a list of instantiators. See Specifiers, for more information about specifiers.

Gutter-size specifiers are used to specify the size of a gutter. The values of the variables default-gutter-size, top-gutter-size, left-gutter-size, right-gutter-size, and bottom-gutter-size are always gutter-size specifiers.

Valid gutter-size instantiators are either integers or the special symbol autodetect. If a gutter-size is set to autodetect them the size of the gutter will be adjusted to just accommodate the gutters contents. autodetect only works for top and bottom gutters.

— Function: make-gutter-visible-specifier spec-list

Return a new gutter-visible specifier object with the given spec list. spec-list can be a list of specifications (each of which is a cons of a locale and a list of instantiators), a single instantiator, or a list of instantiators. See Specifiers, for more information about specifiers.

Gutter-visible specifiers are used to specify the visibility of a gutter. The values of the variables default-gutter-visible-p, top-gutter-visible-p, left-gutter-visible-p, right-gutter-visible-p, and bottom-gutter-visible-p are always gutter-visible specifiers.

Valid gutter-visible instantiators are t, nil or a list of symbols. If a gutter-visible instantiator is set to a list of symbols, and the corresponding gutter specification is a property-list strings, then elements of the gutter specification will only be visible if the corresponding symbol occurs in the gutter-visible instantiator.
