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. Nov 24, 1995 Jacob Nielsen <jacob@dannug.dk> Supercite.ts (C) 1995, 1996 Jacob Nielsen <jacob@dannug.dk>
