That's a UI design question and could be up to the implementation, not in Emacs. I personally would like something akin to a folding editor with clear delineation (maybe statically indented N spaces, like your quotations) but would have to experiment to find the best interface. It's definitely not going to look like anything we have today. Alas, saying "it could be anything" fails to give us any concrete help in finding something it could be. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
