Email "cut here" code snippets

Email "cut here" code snippets

[Tory S. Anderson]

I use GNUs and notice that some people include "---8<-- cut here" type snippets, which are specially formatted in my view. Where can I find this behavior documented, and is there a predefined shortcut for inserting these? I haven't spotted anything on it in the GNUs manual or online searches.

It is in message.el:

,----
| message-mark-inserted-region is an interactive compiled Lisp function
| in `message.el'.
| 
| It is bound to C-c m.
| 
| (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-").
`----

I think I defined the keyboard shortcut myself.

Hope this helps,

Rainer

C-c M-m is the default one.

I have had this in my init.el/.emacs for ever!  It's not mine and I can't
remember where it came from but it works



;;;; SCISSORS
(defvar scissors "8<------"
  "string to insert in \\[scissors]")

(defun scissors ()
  "Insert a line of SCISSORS in the buffer"
  (interactive)
  (or (bolp) (beginning-of-line 2))
  (while (<= (current-column) (- (or fill-column 70) (length scissors)))
    (insert scissors))
  (newline))

(bind-key "s-s" 'scissors)

Did you try C-c M-m in message mode (message-mark-inserted-region)?

Me, too.

(defun gcr/chs ()
  "Insert opening \"cut here start\" snippet."
  (interactive)
  (insert "--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---"))

(defun gcr/che ()
  "Insert closing \"cut here end\" snippet."
  (interactive)
  (insert "--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---"))

One more person confesses and one of us will turn it into a package.
