Elisp Meta Characters in String
The setup of outshine package for emacs requires the user to set the
variable outline-minor-mode-prefix
to "\M-#"
before the outline-mode
package (that ships with emacs) is loaded.
The best way to do this is via the Customize interface in emacs.
So I did M-x customize
and set that variable’s value to "\M-#"
and restarted
emacs and that worked.
But then I was surprised to see that value being saved in the custom.el
as
'(outline-minor-mode-prefix "\243")
.
