When reading articles /from/ gmane.emacs.orgmode /in/ Gnus, I've observed that
source blocks such as
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(if this
(then that))
#+END_SRC
and
#+BEGIN_SRC org
,* TODO some headlines and :atag:
SCHEDULED: <2014-10-29 Wed>
- [ ] some other org-mode stuff
#+END_SRC
do receive syntax highlighting. But to take advantage of this and to write
articles in this way my workflow is very awkward. Here is my present workflow,
and I hope there is some simple or complex solution where others have a better
workflow they can share:
1. Cut some pieces from my .el or .org files,
2. Paste into the scratch buffer,
3. Convert scratch buffer to Major mode org,
4. Add src blocks using org-mode shortcuts ("<s TAB org" or "selisp SPC"),
5. Edit as needed for email, for instance taking advantage of indenting etc. in
"C-c '" mode
6. Cut and paste from scratch buffer to email draft
7. Edit email
8. If extensive editing of src blocks is needed while drafting, may consider
switching back to scratch buffer including further cutting and pasting
This seems wholly inefficient, and I'm hoping there is some obviously easier
way to do it, no matter how much elisp is needed.
I am not sure it is relevant, but my rather vanilla Gnus setup includes
drafting mail in Message buffer. I didn't quickly find how to switch to
drafting with Gnus, so I make the cursory assumption that this is not the trick
to at least seeing highlighting of src blocks while drafting emails.
