[tin-dev] [PATCH] highlight external quotes

[Dennis Preiser]

Hello,

the attached patch adds the ability to highlight external quotes (quoted
text from external sources). This could be for instance a citation or a
program output. Usually, such things are marked with "| ". Examples:

RFC xy says:
| Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy
| eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam
| voluptua. At vero eos et accusam et justo duo dolores et ea rebum. Stet
| clita kasd gubergren, no sea takimata sanctus est Lorem ipsum dolor sit
| amet.

or:

The patch contains a variable to switch this feature on and off
(extquote_handling, default OFF, tinrc and attributes), a regex
(extquote_regex, default "^|\s", tinrc) and a color definition
(col_extquote, default color 5, tinrc).

This feature is similar to the verbatim marks, but I think it's still
useful.
