Commands to Manually Cite, Recite, and Uncite

Probably the three most common post-yank formatting operations that you will perform will be the manual citing, reciting, and un-citing of regions of text in the reply buffer. Often you may want to recite a paragraph to use a nickname, or manually cite a paragraph when using sc-all-but-cite-p. The following commands perform these functions on the region of text between point and mark. Each of them sets the undo boundary before modifying the region so that the command can be undone in the standard emacs way.

sc-cite (C-c C-t)

This command cites each line in the region of text, but only if the line is not already cited as described by sc-cite-regexp. It also inserts a reference header at the top of the region. If you supply the optional numeric argument, it will be passed to sc-insert-reference (see section String Insertion Commands). You will always be asked to confirm the attribution string before the region is cited, regardless of the value of sc-confirm-always-p.

sc-uncite (C-c C-u)

This command removes any citation strings from the beginning of each cited line in the region.

sc-recite (C-c C-a)

This command simply un-cites, then cites the lines in the region, asking for confirmation of the new attribution string.
