Hello,
I'd advice to use UTF-8 characters more wildly available in the
different fonts for drawing the Boxquote around code, in function:
╭────
│ (defun org-ascii--box-string (s info)
│ "Return string S with a partial box to its left.
│ INFO is a plist used as a communication channel."
│ (let ((utf8p (eq (plist-get info :ascii-charset) 'utf-8)))
│ (format (if utf8p "╭────\n%s\n╰────" ",----\n%s\n`----")
│ (replace-regexp-in-string
│ "^" (if utf8p "│ " "| ")
│ ;; Remove last newline character.
│ (replace-regexp-in-string "\n[ \t]*\\'" "" s)))))
╰────
Even if it may always work in NT Emacs, thanks to font substitution, it
does not in Cygwin Emacs.
And, even with substitution, the effect may be not completely right, as
you can see on http://screencast.com/t/3P4oRqKd.
I've looked for corner characters in
- Consolas,
- Courier New,
- DejaVu Sans Mono,
- Lucida Console, and
- Lucida Sans Typewriter.
The results is that only \u250C and \u2514 are "universal" (except in
Lucida Sans Typewriter which implements almost nothing -- unlike DejaVu
Sans Mono which implements almost everything).
Best regards,
Seb

There are three characters required. You are only suggesting two. What
should be the third?
Anyhow, do you want to provide a patch?

Yes.

The third is present in (almost?) all fonts. No problem with it.

Here it is.

if boxquote is going to be changed, perhaps another option that would
be nice for boxquote would be to optionally not print anything to the
left of the contents?

Providing only this option is a waste, as it's already very easy to
obtain the feature using a src-block filter.
OTOH, we could provide an option allowing to choose styles to format
source code. Offered styles could include `boxquote' (i.e. the current
one), `plain' (code only), another one looking like
--[ language ]------------
...
source code
...
Of course, this is only interesting if we provide at least 3-4 styles to
choose from.
