50: In C mode, can I show just the lines that will be left after #ifdef commands are handled by the compiler? M-x hide-ifdef-mode. (This is a minor mode.) You may have to (load "hideif") first. If you want to do this regularly, put this in your .emacs file: (autoload 'hide-ifdef-mode "hideif" nil t) {Yes, I know, this should be in lisp/loaddefs.el already.}
