+ <h2 class="chapter">Reading and Printing Lisp Objects</h2> <p><em>Printing</em> and <em>reading</em> are the operations of converting Lisp objects to textual form and vice versa. They use the printed representations and read syntax described in <a href="lisp-data-types">Lisp Data Types</a>. </p> <p>This chapter describes the Lisp functions for reading and printing. It also describes <em>streams</em>, which specify where to get the text (if reading) or where to put it (if printing). </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr>
