- Supercite.ts
-
- A TickleService that allows you to quote people in a civilized
- manner.
-
- Supercite.ts is a service (listed under 'Services') and works with
- all NEXTSTEP applications. It requires that you have TickleServices
- by Scott Hess installed.
-
- Supercite is inspired by the Supercite package for emacs.
-
- What it does
- ============
-
- With this little service you can cite people like this:
-
- >>>>> "Jacob" == Jacob Nielsen <jacob@dannug.dk> writes:
-
- Jacob> What a great app. Thanks!
-
- instead of:
-
- Jacob Nielsen <jacob@dannug.dk> writes:
-
- > What a great app. Thanks!
-
-
- Why is that usefull?
- ====================
-
- Have you ever seen a discussion containing things like: >>>>
- NEXTSTEP is the best computing enviroment on earth! >>>> It keeps
- being usefull :-) >>> I second that!
-
- I find it difficult to remember that the '>>>>' is me, the '>>>'
- is Peter, '>>' is ... Using Supercite, this becomes:
-
- Jacob> NEXTSTEP is the best computing enviroment on earth! It
- Jacob> keeps being usefull :-)
- Peter> I second that!
-
-
- The menu entries
- ================
-
- Cite... When you have selected some text and press this menu
- item, Supercite will prompt you for a citation name and use the
- name to cite the selected text.
-
- Insert Name... Select a text block that contains an email address
- and press the menu item. Supercite will then prompt you for the
- citation name to use (using the persons first name as a guess) and
- produce the Supercite header (e.g '>>>>> "Jacob" == Jacob Nielsen
- <jacob@dannug.dk>'). Note that the selected text block is replaced
- by the Supercite header.
-
- Unquote This menu entry removes quotes from the selected text.
- It will even remove citations made by Supercite...
- A word of cation: do not use this on text that's not quoted
- and that contains a '>' -- the line with the '>' will be
- removed !
-
- Unquote and Cite... Like pressing Unquote and then Cite...
-
- Reformat Lines This will reformat the selected lines so they are
- around 65 characters long.
