- <h3 class="section">Kinds of Forms</h3> <p>A Lisp object that is intended to be evaluated is called a <em>form</em> (or an <em>expression</em>). How Emacs evaluates a form depends on its data type. Emacs has three different kinds of form that are evaluated differently: symbols, lists, and all other types. This section describes all three kinds, one by one, starting with the other types, which are self-evaluating forms. </p> <table class="menu" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr>
