+;;; boxquote.el --- Quote text with a semi-box.

+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; boxquote 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.
+;;
+;; The latest version of boxquote.el can be found at:
+;;
+;;   <URL:http://www.davep.org/emacs/#boxquote.el>
+
+;;; 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.
+;;
+;; 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'.
