Failure in info node?

Failure in info node?

[Karl Pflästerer]

Hi,
if you read about advanced scoring in info://gnus/Advanced+Scoring+Examples
you can read
,----
|    Let's say you want to increase the score of articles written by Lars
| when he's talking about Gnus:
| 
|      ((&
|        ("from" "Lars Ingebrigtsen")
|        ("subject" "Gnus"))
|       1000)
`----

I tried that but it didn't work for me; what's lacking is the
declaration of the match type (substring, regexp ...).  Is this an error
in the docs or are these declarations under some circumstances optional?

The following score file works for me.  Note the additional pair of
parentheses as stated in (info "(gnus)Advanced Scoring Examples"):

,----[ gmane.discuss.SCORE ]
| (((&
|   ("from" "Steinar")
|   ("subject" "spam"))
|   3000))
`----

`V t' gives the expected result:

,----
| ((& ("from" "Steinar") ("subject" "spam")) 3000)  ->  A file
`----

Also for non-advanced scoring, only the first element required:

,----[ (info "(gnus)Score File Format") ]
| `STRING'
|      If the key is a string, it is the name of the header to perform the
|      match on.  [...]
| 
|      Following this key is an arbitrary number of score entries, where
|      each score entry has one to four elements.
|        1. The first element is the "match element".  On most headers
|           this will be a string, but on the Lines and Chars headers,
|           this must be an integer.
| 
|        2. If the second element is present, it should be a number--the
|           "score element".  [...]  If this element
|           is not present, the `gnus-score-interactive-default-score'
|           number will be used instead.  This is 1000 by default.
`----

This example also works for me:

,----[ gmane.discuss.SCORE ]
| (("from"
|   ("Lars" -1))
|  ((&
|   ("from" "Steinar")
|   ("subject" "spam"))
|   3000))
`----

Bye, Reiner.

Naturally I had them included. But I'll try it again sometimes.  But if
it works it's no error in the docs.
