Subject: Fontification of the interactive prompt string?
Date: Fri, 05 Jun 2015 23:44:58 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87vbf17rtx.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)

Hi all,

I have an (interactive "cprompt\n") call, and I'd like the prompt to
list possible characters (they define a few options for my function, and
I have good reasons to implement it this way and not with C-u etc.)  I'd
like to have the relevant characters highlighted, like in:

"file: _n_ew, _o_pen, _c_lose"

where the underscores mean that something is e.g. in a different color.

Is it possible?  Bonus points if instead of colors the relevant letter
might be e.g. put in brackets on terminals not supporting colors.

TIA,

--
