As a result, when I began typing immediately after the quoted text (which was still purple), the text I inserted was also purple. My question is, how do I remove the text color? I tried using remove-text-property or set-text-property, but M-x didn't recognize them, and I don't know how to run Elisp functions on buffers without using M-x. Thanks Noah Lavine
