Maillard-san ? I like this :) (I really should learn japanese one day)

   Do you mean a simple key binding like this?

   (eval-after-load "howm"
     '(define-key howm-mode-map "\C-c,>"
		  (lambda () (interactive) (insert ">>> "))))

   Or, do you have a better idea?

This is an idea but why not take advantage of the abbrev
mechanism offered by emacs itself ? I do not know whether emacs
permits such abreviations though. Plus, with emacs 23, something
has changed on this side. (I am putting emacs-devel into the Cc
to get their feeling about this particular point).

   If you like to change the tag ">>>" itself to a shorter one, do
   something like (setq howm-ref-header "->") *before* loading howm-mode.
   This variable is defined at the head of howm-mode.el, and several
   other variables are set dependently on it.

Nice but I think I will stick with this setting since "->" is
something I am using a lot when writing notes/documentations.
