Citation aren't highlighted

Citation aren't highlighted

[Christian Kurz]

Hi everybody,
I've a problem with the highlightning of citations. I have
gnus-cite-face 1-3 defined to show different colors for the
quotings. The I defined a that my gnus-article-display-hook
calls gnus-article-highlight-citation t and I've definde what the
gnus-cite-attribution-prefix and suffix should be. I've also defined
what gnus-cite-prefix-regexp I want. But gnus won't highlight any
citations. Here are the variables as I have defined them:

(setq gnus-cite-prefix-regexp "^[]>|:}+ ]*[]>|:}+]\(.*>\)?\|^.* ")
(setq gnus-cite-attribution-prefix "In article\|in <\|On \(Mon\|Tue\|
Wed\|Thu\|Fri\|Sat\|Sun\) ")
(setq gnus-cite-attribution-suffix "\(wrote\|writes\|said\|says\|spoke\|
schrieb\|schreibt\).*:[      ]*$")

So why doesn't gnus highlight citations?

What is your `gnus-article-display-hook'?

I use the following article-display-hooks. 

(setq  gnus-article-display-hook
    '(
         gnus-article-highlight-citation t
         gnus-article-hide-headers-if-wanted
         gnus-article-hide-boring-headers
         gnus-article-treat-overstrike
         gnus-article-de-quoted-unreadable
         gnus-article-strip-leading-blank-lines
         gnus-article-remove-trailing-blank-lines
         gnus-article-strip-multiple-blank-lines
         gnus-article-highlight 
         gnus-article-emphasize
         gnus-article-highlight t
         gnus-article-highlight-citation t
         gnus-article-maybe-highlight ))

I hope that you or someelse can tell me, why I get no quotations
highlighted, wenn the article is displayed. But when I write an answer
I get the article highlighted, but only with one color and not all
three. So what is the problem and how could I solve this.

This means that you have added first the function
`gnus-article-highlight-citation', then the function `t', and so on.
It does not meant that the first function gets called with the
parameter `t'.

And then you add these again.  Perhaps the function is a toggle, so
you highlight and then unhighlight?

I have killed this line in my .gnus.

This line is now in my .gnus but without the t. But he doesn't
highlight quotations in articles when I read them on the console. But
when I answer them the quotations are colored, but only one color
for all quotations. But I have defined three different colors for this.

Hi everybody,

I have solved my problem. The solution was to change the regex,
which I used for highlighting citations. Now that I've corrected
it everything works fine. Thanks Lars, for your tips, because they
showed me the way to this problem.
