Subject: About actually reading the summary modeline
Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 07:28:56 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <86efve8pdz.fsf@local.lan> (raw)
I've been browsing the gnus manual looking for something that will tell
me how to read the summary modeline.
I found all the details about the elements that can be used to create
the mode line... I need something that shows some examples of what
they really do... that is, what they look like in practice.
Trying to guess what a couple of them mean is not working for me.
Some things seem almost inexplicable... that bit in Curly brackets
that says '{SomeNumber more}'
or
`{1798 more}'
The ones I can tell right off are the line counter, the percentage
figure (43%) Plugged or not
What I see looks like this:
(Understand, of coures, it is all on one line ... beginning at U:---
and ending with `(Summary Plugged))
U:--- PicOfGnu - newsgroup(abbreved) [46355] {2757 more} 61%
(33661,23) (Summary Plugged)
"[46355]" "{2757 more}" 43% (33661,23) (Summary Plugged)
What do those two in [double quotes added by me ]on line above
represent?
