Subject: bug#35764: Proposal: gnus-summary-describe-article
Date: Fri, 17 May 2019 00:41:38 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87sgte2vy5.5.fsf@jidanni.org> (raw)
Just like M-x describe-char gives tons of details about a character, a
future gnus-summary-describe-article function could
show all the items in the C-h v gnus-summary-line-format docstring,
one per line, whithout the user needing to change his
gnus-summary-line-format just to see what they all are for one article.
Output would have % escapes helpfully mentioned.
So it would list:
%N Article number, left padded with spaces (string)
%S Subject (string)
%s Subject if it is at the root of a thread, and "" otherwise (string)
%n Name of the poster (string)
%a Extracted name of the poster (string)
...
Like this:
Article number %N: 1234
Subject %S: Larry wants a waffle
Poster %n: Bill Prfowitz
...
And mention this new function on
(info "(gnus) Back End Interface")
And maybe with a prefix argument just have it analyze the user's current
gnus-summary-line-format, in the order that the %'s appear in it.
