Hi,
Gnus has the feature to display some words with a different
face if they are bracketed with certain characters (*bold*,
/italic/, _underline_).
Is there a command for the opposite direction when composing
mails, i. e. I write a paragraph, I want to mark up "for
example" as bold, so I select those words as a region, M-x
some-gnus-or-emacs-command, and the text changes to "*for*
*example*"?
Org does not appear to have a function for this, and
markdown-insert-bold of markdown-mode
(https://jblevins.org/projects/markdown-mode/) uses doubled
characters ("**bold**").
TIA,
Tim

That looks suitable, thanks! (I had only searched Org func- tions for "bold".) Tim ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Yes, those are `gnus-emphasis-bold', `gnus-emphasis-italic' and `gnus-emphasis-underline'. If one feels the need to use them it can be a sign that the discussion is getting too emotional. -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
