 DP> Just for my curious. How can you get your ref formatted in this

,----[ C-h k C-c b r ]
| C-c b r runs the command boxquote-region, which is an interactive
| compiled Lisp function in `boxquote.el'.
| 
| It is bound to C-c b r.
| (boxquote-region start end)
| 
| Draw a box around the left hand side of a region bounding start and end.

and

,----[ C-h k C-c b t ]
| C-c b t runs the command boxquote-title, which is an interactive
| compiled Lisp function in `boxquote.el'.
| 
| It is bound to C-c b t.
| (boxquote-title title)
| 
| Set the title of the current boxquote to title.
| 
| If title is an empty string the title is removed. Note that the title will
| be formatted using `boxquote-title-format'.

you might for example put

;;;_. boxquote

(require 'boxquote)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b y")   'boxquote-yank)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b r")   'boxquote-region)         
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b u")   'boxquote-unbox-region)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b t")   'boxquote-title)          
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b i")   'boxquote-insert-file) 
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b k")   'boxquote-kill) 
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b s")   'boxquote-shell-command)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b b")   'boxquote-buffer)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b p")   'boxquote-paragraph) 
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b n")   'boxquote-narrow-to-boxquote)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b w")   'boxquote-where-is) 
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b d f") 'boxquote-describe-function)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b d k") 'boxquote-describe-key)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c b d v") 'boxquote-describe-variable)
