ASCII boxes for blocks might be more convenient for the

Maybe output like this instead:

`----------

 

I use message-mark-inserted-region to mark code in email:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

#+name: r-with-ggplot2

#+begin_src R :results output graphics :var tbl=foo :file foo-output.png :width 400 :height 300

  library(ggplot2)

  res <- ggplot(tbl, aes(a_foo_var))

  res + geom_histogram(aes(y=..density..)) +

  geom_density(weight=2) + xlab("A foo variable")

#+end_src

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

That allows easy cut-and-paste. I use boxquote-region for documentation etc that I don't expect the reader to cut and paste.

They are bound to C-c m and C-c q resp. using this initialization code:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---

(define-key mode-specific-map [?q] 'boxquote-region)

(define-key mode-specific-map [?m] 'message-mark-inserted-region)

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
