## Commentary:

`boxquote.el` provides a set of functions for using a text quoting style
that partially boxes in the left hand side of an area of text, such a
marking style might be used to show externally included text or example
code.

```
,----
| The default style looks like this.
`----
```

A number of functions are provided for quoting a region, a buffer, a
paragraph and a defun. There are also functions for quoting text while
pulling it in, either by inserting the contents of another file or by
yanking text into the current buffer.

## Thanks:

Kai Grossjohann for inspiring the idea of boxquote. I wrote this code to
mimic the "inclusion quoting" style in his Usenet posts. I could have
hassled him for his code but it was far more fun to write it myself.

Mark Milhollan for providing a patch that helped me get the help quoting
functions working with XEmacs. (which, for other reasons, I've needed to
remove as of v2.0 -- hopefully I can get things working on XEmacs again).

Oliver Much for suggesting the idea of having a `boxquote-kill-ring-save`
function.

Reiner Steib for suggesting `boxquote-where-is` and the idea of letting
`boxquote-describe-key` describe key bindings from other buffers. Also
thanks go to Reiner for suggesting `boxquote-insert-buffer`.
