.

It's a good idea to bind these functions to a key sequence:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c w s") 'copy-as-format-slack)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c w g") 'copy-as-format-github)
For AsciiDoc customization see copy-as-format-asciidoc-include-file-name
and copy-as-format-asciidoc-language-alist
.
Adding Formats
Create a format function with a signature of TEXT MULTILINE
:
TEXT
- the text to be formattedMULTILINE
-t
ifTEXT
spans multiple lines, otherwisenil
For example:
(defun some-great-format (text multiline)
(if multiline
(multiline-format text)
(single-line-format text)))
Then, add an entry to copy-as-format-format-alist
. The key is the format's name
and the value is the format function:
(add-to-list 'copy-as-format-format-alist '("great-format" some-great-format))
