Thanks! As the example given by Tom Rauchenwald appears to have used
this arcane (to me) #v+ ... #v-, I will investigate that.

I cannot give an example, as I cannot duplicate this. However, can I
give a reference to an article in another newsgroup that shows this?
The purpose is simple to make it easier to distinguish a minimal
example (LaTeX) which one can then copy verbatim (boxquote does not
lend itself to that as easily, obviously). In comp.text.tex there is
this article:

(body not copied)

This has some text which looks like the example line "code" given by
Tom Rauchenwald.

Thanks,
