washing and `article-translate-strings' in what hook?

washing and `article-translate-strings' in what hook?

[Emanuel Berg]

I have a function that is

    (defun gnus-article-wash-more ()
      "Perform additional article washing."
      (interactive)
      (article-translate-strings
       '(
         ("Sendt fra min iPad" "")
         ("Skickat från Yahoo Mail för iPhone" "")
         ;; ...
         ))
      (gnus-article-strip-multiple-blank-lines) )

which works when called interactively from an
article buffer.

However I can't find a hook to put it in to have it
executed automatically each time!

I tried all the gnus-article--hooks, but none had any
effect (in this context at least).

This is confusing because I already have a hook that
is

    ;; reset: (setq gnus-article-prepare-hook nil)
    (defun gnus-article-prepare-hook-f ()
      (gnus-article-hide-signature nil 1)
      (gnus-article-fill-cited-article) )
    (add-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-hook-f)

and those two things happen- just not wash-more if
I put it there as well.

Ideas?

Also, I wonder if there is an option to always perform
maximum washing?

I think you need to wrap the body in

  (gnus-with-article-buffer ...)

This will have the added effect of making the interactive function work
from the summary buffer window (provided there is a current article in
some buffer, of course).

That's exactly right!

But how is anyone to realize this?

Because there is no article argument to
`article-translate-strings', the current article is
all it can be applied to (?). So then shouldn't it say
there is none, if there isn't?

Or did this happen to some *other* article which
I have been unaware of?

And why did it work calling it interactively but not
doing the same from Lisp?
Is `gnus-article-prepare-hook' the wrong place so at
that time there isn't a buffer set to work
on, interactively?

PS. But anyway, not it works so unless you feel like
answering all these question no one will say you
should. DS.

Ah, good question.  I don't know.  I learned what I know by reading
other people's code (some of it the Gnus sources).

That's possible.  The code operates on the current buffer, so it was
probably editing something!

I don't think the key distinction is interactive/non interactive.  The
key issue is whether there is a "current buffer" which you can see
change.  Selecting an article probably makes the article buffer current
so calling the function interactively works on the article you can see.

A smart auto-wash? (was: washing and `article-translate-strings' in what hook?)

[Dave Abrahams]

More generally, I find I am constantly fiddling around with articles in
Gnus to get them to be truly readable.  *Many* need `W-Q'. The ones that only
read well as HTML need `K-b K-v'. I found one today that was garbled
without `K-m', which I had to find by experimentation.  Has anybody
written a smart washer that figures it out for you 99% of the time?
