  • Colorize quoted text?

    From Alpha@21:4/158 to All on Wed Dec 23 13:15:33 2020
    Hey Enigma Sysops and NuSkooler --

    Is it possible to set a color in messageAreaViewPost to quoted text?

    Cheers,

    Not yet, will look into - should be pretty trivial.

    BTW, if you already pulled, pull again. I don't know why I didn't do it the first time around - you can now set the attribute to an array of 3 styles:
    1 - initials
    2 - > char
    3 - the text itself

    So, I'm trying to convince Nightfox to do the same for DDMsgReader module for Synchronet. Basically to find and color the quoted text (and tear/origin lines) differently from the reply text. Which really makes things easier to read if you ask me.

    I'm not sure I've convinced him yet. He has some concern around handling the display of real ANSI (like BBS ads) without trying to colorize them if a > is detected. I would assume you don't apply the quote format if the Message reader detects ANSI?

    Yep exactly. Quote handling, ANSI "art" vs a textual message, etc. is a big mess to deal with really. I'm not quite happy with now Enig handles quotes all the time. I may re-visit that before the FSE re-write if I run into enough situations that it triggers me hehe. Enig trys to leave formatted ASCII as-is for the most part, ANSI is pre-processed to be able to live in a FSE, and everything else is _mostly_ just dumped in. ...until you try to quote it, which again, ...ugg. :)

    I'll probably add this in soon as well.
