These are inserted by the `message-mark-inserted-region' command, and
Gnus parses what that inserts.

Yes, there is:

    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-").

"cut here" (and message formatting in general)

[Tamas K Papp]

Hi,

Reading a newsgroup recently in Gnus I found a message which had code
nicely highlighted in the Emacs buffer.  Looking at the raw message
source I found something like

--8<---------------cut here---------

around the code.

I was not aware of this possibility, so now I am interested in the
following:

1. What's the "standard" format for this, or at least the format
recognized by Gnus?

2. Is there an emacs function or some other shortcut to enter it?

3. Is there a list of similar constructs that Gnus would recognize (I am
aware of *bold*, _underline_ and /italic/, but I am interested in what I
am missing).  If there is no user-friendly list I am happy to look at EL
sources, but some directions would be useful.

Best,

Tamas
