121 Typical usage is as follows. You want to reply or followup to a message
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
122 in your MUA. You will probably hit @kbd{r} (i.e., ``reply'') or @kbd{f}
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
123 (i.e., ``forward'') to begin composing the reply. In response, the MUA
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
124 will create a reply buffer and initialize the outgoing mail headers
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
125 appropriately. The body of the reply will usually be empty at this
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
126 point. You now decide that you would like to include part of the
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
127 original message in your reply. To do this, you @dfn{yank} the original
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
128 message into the reply buffer, typically with a key stroke such as
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
129 @kbd{C-c C-y}. This sequence will invoke an MUA-specific function which
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
130 fills the body of the reply with the original message and then
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
131 @dfn{attributes} this text to its author. This is called @dfn{citing}
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
132 and its effect is to prefix every line from the original message with a
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

133 special text tag. Most MUAs provide some default style of citing; by

134 using Supercite you gain a wider flexibility in the look and style of

Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>

141 are the sole responsibility of the MUA, even though it might seem that
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

142 Supercite should provide them. For example, many people would like to

223 A @dfn{citation} is the acknowledgement of the original author of a mail

Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

224 message in the body of the reply. There are two basic citation styles
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

225 which Supercite supports. The first, called @dfn{nested citations} is
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
226 an anonymous form of citation; in other words, an indication is made
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
227 that the cited line was written by someone @emph{other} that the current
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
228 message author (i.e., other than you, the person composing the reply),
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

229 but no reference is made as to the identity of the original author.
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man

369 When Supercite composes a citation string, it provides the attribution

Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

374 characters (also ``.'', ``-'', and ``_''). But in some situations,
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
375 Supercite has to determine whether it is looking at a nested or
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man

0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

1116 belief that while the style of the citations is a reflection of the
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1117 personal tastes of the replier (i.e., you), the attribution selection is
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1118 ultimately the personal choice of the original author. In a sense it is
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1119 his or her ``net nickname'', and therefore the author should have some
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1120 say in the selection of attribution string. Imagine how you would feel
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

1121 if someone gave you a nickname that you didn't like?

1123 For this reason, Supercite recognizes a special mail header,

Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

1124 @samp{X-Attribution:}, which if present, tells Supercite the attribution
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1125 string preferred by the original author. It is the value of this header
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1126 that is associated with the @code{"x-attribution"} key in the
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1127 attribution alist. Currently, you can override the preference of this
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

1128 key by changing @code{sc-preferred-attribution-list}, but that isn't
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:

1129 polite, and in the future Supercite may hard-code this. For now, it is
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man

1323 At the heart of Supercite is a regular expression interpreting engine
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1324 called @dfn{Regi}. Regi operates by interpreting a data structure
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1325 called a Regi-frame (or just @dfn{frame}), which is a list of
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1326 Regi-entries (or just @dfn{entry}). Each entry contains a predicate,
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1327 typically a regular expression, which is matched against a line of text
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1328 in the current buffer. If the predicate matches true, an associated
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1329 expression is @code{eval}uated. In this way, an entire region of text
0ae78db27d60 Move here from ../../man
Glenn Morris <rgm@gnu.org>

1330 can be transformed in an @emph{awk}-like manner. Regi is used
