Did you try unquote splicing? i.e. (defmacro deriv-fn [fn-args exp v degree] `(fn ~fn-args ~@(deriv exp v degree)))
Also, posting a link your exact macros would help :) Sean On May 4, 3:40 pm, Bryce <fiat.mo...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have a macro, deriv, that produces an expression, and I'd like to > create another macro that turns this into a function.
