How do I make Emacs parse and interpret the > text file according to this convention? Hm. Gnus has code to do that, and Emacs can do it for man pages, too. So you might be able to find some code there. I'd start with M-x apropos RET, then specify regular expressions such as the following: gnus.*bold article.*bold treat.*bold bold.*treat Hm. There is the function Man-cleanup-manpage. It's also a command. -- Ambibibentists unite!
