Does anyone out there have good tools for producing attractive
listings of Lisp (especially Common Lisp) programs?

We are using vgrind with our Imagen, with a lisp entry added
to vgrindef that recognizes defun/defmacro for marginal titling
and recognizes all the Common Lisp keywords.  To make this work
we modified vfontedpr to accept a list of legal characters for
identifiers (otherwise it thinks such common identifier characters
as '-' are delimiters), to NOT do special font shifts on '*' and
on '/' if they're in the id-character table, and to handle much
larger tables of keywords.  The result is reasonable, BUT it
doesn't produce proper indentation -- proportionally spaced
fonts make that hard.  Has anyone got tools that CAN handle nice
Lisp indentation?  I would really prefer not to have to get quite
that well acquainted with troff...
