Way to detect "raw" display of article?

Way to detect "raw" display of article?

[Damien Collard]

Hello,

I have written a module for Gnus that replaces the standard `>` citation
marks in article-mode with nicer Unicode ones using the same face as the
corresponding cited text.

However, I only want to apply this transformation in the "regular" (C-g)
view of the article, not if it's being viewed "raw" (`C-u g` or `C-u C-u
g`). Is their a reliable way to detect this?

I think the "appropriate" way of doing this would be to make this a
washing function that does this on command, then a corresponding
`gnus-treat-FOO' variable, then allow people to set that as they like.

This works very well, thank you!

And it's cleaner than my abusing of `fontification-functions` previously
(for which I had to make sure the prettification was only performed
once).

Now to see if I can avoid using `fontification-functions` in
message-mode...

Here's what I have so far:

    https://github.com/damiencollard/nice-citation

It works very well, although in some rare cases the face of the citation
mark doesn't match that of the cited text even though the face is taken
from Gnus' own citation faces. I'm guessing Gnus is selecting the
citation face differently than I do (the face of each mark is picked
based on the citation depth).

It doesn't apply the treatment when viewing an article in raw mode, as
expected.

I also enabled it in message-mode, where it adds itself to the
`fontification-functions` alist.
