gnus: Smileys
9.14.3 Smileys
--------------
“Smiley” is a package separate from Gnus, but since Gnus is currently
the only package that uses Smiley, it is documented here.
In short—to use Smiley in Gnus, put the following in your
‘~/.gnus.el’ file:
(setq gnus-treat-display-smileys t)
Smiley maps text smiley faces—‘:-)’, ‘8-)’, ‘:-(’ and the like—to
pictures and displays those instead of the text smiley faces. The
conversion is controlled by a list of regexps that matches text and maps
that to file names.
The alist used is specified by the ‘smiley-regexp-alist’ variable.
The first item in each element is the regexp to be matched; the second
element is the regexp match group that is to be replaced by the picture;
and the third element is the name of the file to be displayed.
The following variables customize the appearance of the smileys:
‘smiley-style’
Specifies the smiley style. Predefined smiley styles include
‘low-color’ (small 13x14 pixel, three-color images), ‘medium’ (more
colorful images, 16x16 pixel), and ‘grayscale’ (grayscale images,
14x14 pixel). The default depends on the height of the default
face.
‘smiley-data-directory’
Where Smiley will look for smiley faces files. You shouldn’t set
this variable anymore. Customize ‘smiley-style’ instead.
‘gnus-smiley-file-types’
List of suffixes on smiley file names to try.
