Nick -- ...and then Nick Wilson said... % % Hi folks
Hello! % Firstly, yes, I know this is a trivial issue! Well, it depends on your definition of trivial... If you mean "easy", it may not be; if you mean "worthless", then it might be :-) % I use vim as my editor and can't work out how to make portions of my % text bold? I know many of you use vim so I hope someone can help. What do you mean by bold? Do you mean in the resultant mail message? Do you mean in a particular display? Do you mean in vim itself? Do you mean in the interpretation of the reader? I believe the USENET conventions for highlightin under ASCII are _underline_ and *bold* and /italics/ (but I'm not sure); that would suffice for the reader's view. To get the character to print twice on the screen and thus look bolder, you could embed backspaces like t^Hth^Hhi^His^Hs (which comes out looking like tthhiiss). Note that that will mess up your line wrap length because of all of the extra characters embedded therein... If, of course, you're composing *shudder* HTML email, you have the bold tag <b><b></b> available. But lots of folks will dump your mail into the trashcan immediately upon receipt :-) Other ideas are certainly possiblimplementations; if these don't answer your question, give us more detail. % % Cheers % -- % % Nick Wilson % % Tel: +45 3325 0688 % Fax: +45 3325 0677 % Web: www.explodingnet.com HTH & HAND :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
