Quotation markup in Gnus

Quotation markup in Gnus

Hi to all

I have noticed that some of you use a kind of markup to highlight
special passages in emails, for example for Lisp code examples or
for quotes from a manual.

Sometimes I see Lisp code passages displayed with green background
color, sometimes I see quotations enclosed by a frame similar to this:

 _
/
| Text
| Text
| Text
\_

How to do that? Is it a special package or a standard function of Gnus
or Message mode I have not yet discovered? I have searched the net and
the Gnus manual, but I seem to have missed the relevant keywords.

Greetings

Sven

There is for example boxquote.
Select a region, and type M-x boxquote-region RET

Mark the code snippet in the message buffer and do `C-c M-m'.

,----
| C-c M-m runs the command message-mark-inserted-region
|   which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `message.el'.
| It is bound to C-c M-m, <menu-bar> <Message> <Insert Region Marked>.
| (message-mark-inserted-region BEG END &optional VERBATIM)
| 
| Mark some region in the current article with enclosing tags.
| See `message-mark-insert-begin' and `message-mark-insert-end'.
| If VERBATIM, use slrn style verbatim marks ("#v+" and "#v-").

Like above?  That's boxquote.el.

That's exactly what I was looking for. In fact, I noticed it first in
one of your postings, Tassilo.

Thanks,

Sven
