gnus: Article Highlighting
3.18.1 Article Highlighting
---------------------------
Not only do you want your article buffer to look like fruit salad, but
you want it to look like technicolor fruit salad.
‘W H a’
Do much highlighting of the current article
(‘gnus-article-highlight’). This function highlights header, cited
text, the signature, and adds buttons to the body and the head.
‘W H h’
Highlight the headers (‘gnus-article-highlight-headers’). The
highlighting will be done according to the ‘gnus-header-face-alist’
variable, which is a list where each element has the form ‘(REGEXP
NAME CONTENT)’. REGEXP is a regular expression for matching the
header, NAME is the face used for highlighting the header name
(Faces and Fonts) and CONTENT is the face for highlighting
the header value. The first match made will be used. Note that
REGEXP shouldn’t have ‘^’ prepended—Gnus will add one.
‘W H c’
Highlight cited text (‘gnus-article-highlight-citation’).
Some variables to customize the citation highlights:
‘gnus-cite-parse-max-size’
If the article size in bytes is bigger than this variable
(which is 25000 by default), no citation highlighting will be
performed.
‘gnus-cite-max-prefix’
Maximum possible length for a citation prefix (default 20).
‘gnus-cite-face-list’
List of faces used for highlighting citations (Faces and
Fonts). When there are citations from multiple articles in
the same message, Gnus will try to give each citation from
each article its own face. This should make it easier to see
who wrote what.
‘gnus-supercite-regexp’
Regexp matching normal Supercite attribution lines.
‘gnus-supercite-secondary-regexp’
Regexp matching mangled Supercite attribution lines.
‘gnus-cite-minimum-match-count’
Minimum number of identical prefixes we have to see before we
believe that it’s a citation.
‘gnus-cite-attribution-prefix’
Regexp matching the beginning of an attribution line.
‘gnus-cite-attribution-suffix’
Regexp matching the end of an attribution line.
‘gnus-cite-attribution-face’
Face used for attribution lines. It is merged with the face
for the cited text belonging to the attribution.
‘gnus-cite-ignore-quoted-from’
If non-‘nil’, no citation highlighting will be performed on
lines beginning with ‘>From ’. Those lines may have been
quoted by MTAs in order not to mix up with the envelope From
line. The default value is ‘t’.
‘W H s’
Highlight the signature (‘gnus-article-highlight-signature’).
Signature::) in an article will be considered a signature and will
be highlighted with ‘gnus-signature-face’, which is ‘italic’ by
default.
