GNU Info (gnus)Mode Line FormattingMode Line Formatting -------------------- Mode line formatting variables (e.g., `gnus-summary-mode-line-format') follow the same rules as other, buffer line oriented formatting variables (Note: Formatting Basics) with the following two differences: 1. There must be no newline (`\n') at the end. 2. The special `%%b' spec can be used to display the buffer name. Well, it's no spec at all, really--`%%' is just a way to quote `%' to allow it to pass through the formatting machinery unmangled, so that Emacs receives `%b', which is something the Emacs mode line display interprets to mean "show the buffer name". For a full list of mode line specs Emacs understands, see the documentation of the `mode-line-format' variable. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
