thinks.el is a little bit of silliness inspired by the think bubbles you
see in cartoons. It allows you to
. o O ( insert text that looks like this )
into a buffer. This could possibly be handy for use in email and usenet postings.
Note that the code can handle multiple lines
. o O ( like this. That is, a body of text where the number of characters )
( exceeds the bounds of what you might consider to be a acceptable )
( line length (he says, waffling on to fill a couple of lines). )
You can also control how the bubble looks with thinks-from. The above
had it set to top. You can have middle:
( like this. That is, a body of text where the number of characters )
. o O ( exceeds the bounds of what you might consider to be a acceptable )
( line length (he says, waffling on to fill a couple of lines). )
bottom:
( like this. That is, a body of text where the number of characters )
( exceeds the bounds of what you might consider to be a acceptable )
. o O ( line length (he says, waffling on to fill a couple of lines). )
and bottom-diagonal:
( like this. That is, a body of text where the number of characters )
( exceeds the bounds of what you might consider to be a acceptable )
( line length (he says, waffling on to fill a couple of lines). )

By default all of the thinking functions will fill (word wrap) the text
taking into account the value of fill-column minus the space required for
the bubble. Prefix a call to any of the functions with C-u to
turn off this behaviour.
