FWIW, 0.112 is a bit old ATM. 0.116 is the latest and has a significant number of fixes since 0.112. See the pan site for downloads. As for your question... where you are getting config.xml from? Pan uses preferences.xml in the tarballed sources, and not only don't I see a text_quote_chars key, but preferences.xml doesn't even /have/ keys! It has flags (boolean), ints, strings, and geometry, no generic "keys", so whatever file you are looking at, it's the wrong one! You didn't simply copy over your old 0.14.x pan config, did you? That might explain the strange file if you did, as that sounds rather more like old-pan than new-pan. Meanwhile, the setting appears to be hard-coded at the moment in new-pan. I'd guess it's a bit late to get the feature in for pan 1.0, targeted for the end of the month if no serious bugs come up. However, file a bug on it so it isn't forgotten, and there's a decent chance at least a config file entry for it will make it after the 1.0 freeze is lifted. I'm not sure Charles will want to complicate the GUI preferences for it, but there are already a couple settings that can only be tweaked by editing preferences.xml directly, and it seems like a reasonable request, so I'd call the chances decently good, anyway. Until then, chances are if you want it bad enough, you'll have to edit the sources and compile yourself to get it. =8^( -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
