The standard boxquote looks like this: ,----[ title ] | Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi et | dolor vitae quam fringilla vulputate ac id sapien. Nullam auctor | consequat magna in fringilla. Praesent sed dolor vel felis | condimentum faucibus eget in risus. Phasellus dignissim vehicula | purus, non tempus arcu rutrum vel. `---- However, since Emacs now has perfectly good Unicode support, the following shows boxquote configured to use standard Unicode line drawing characters with rounded corners: (set-variable 'boxquote-bottom-corner "╰") ; U+2570 (set-variable 'boxquote-side "│ ") ; U+2572 + space (set-variable 'boxquote-top-and-tail "────") ; U+2500 (×4) (set-variable 'boxquote-top-corner "╭") ; U+256F ╭────[ title ] │ Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Morbi et │ dolor vitae quam fringilla vulputate ac id sapien. Nullam auctor │ consequat magna in fringilla. Praesent sed dolor vel felis │ condimentum faucibus eget in risus. Phasellus dignissim vehicula │ purus, non tempus arcu rutrum vel. ╰──── Much nicer! It would be great if these could be made the default in place of the ugly ASCII.
