Passing a list to a function

[lisa-asket]

What do you think of this code?  Is it valid?



(defvar hstyle-hdl
   '( ("@c h1" . 1) ("@c h2" . 2) ("@c h3" . 3) ("@c h4" . 4)
      ("@c h5" . 5) ("@c h6" . 6) ("@c h7" . 7) ("@c h8" . 8) )
   "Define names and levels for texinfo outline headings." )



(defun outline-headings (hdlevels)
  "Sets texinfo headings for use in outline mode."



    (setq outline-regexp
      (concat (regexp-opt (mapcar 'car hdlevels)) "\\>"))
    (setq outline-heading-alist hdlevels) )


(outline-headings hstyle-hdl)

It works like any other function and argument:

(defun is-this-a-list (lst)
(listp lst) )

(is-this-a-list 1) ; nil
(is-this-a-list '(1 2 3)) ; t
