If at all possible, format_//2 should be used, to stress pure parts
|

that enable easy testing etc. If necessary, you can emit the list Ls

with maplist(put_char, Ls).

with maplist(put_char, Ls) or, much faster, with format("~s", [Ls]).

Ideally, however, you use phrase_to_file/2 or phrase_to_stream/2
|

from library(pio) to write the described list directly to a file
|

or stream, respectively: phrase_to_stream(format_(..., [...]), S).
|

The advantage of this is that an ideal implementation writes

the characters as they become known, without manifesting the list.

The entire library only works if the Prolog flag double_quotes
|

is set to chars, the default value in Scryer Prolog. This should
