Yes :) I really want to clean that up eventually, every since Duy

Thanks for checking---I did overlook that other callsite and did not
check if the suggested change was sensible there.

I like the idea of using atomv->handler() a lot, mostly cause this

help us clean up populate_atom() which currently seems like a huge dump of code.

There's another call to append_atom() when inserting the "reset color at
end of line if needed", so moving this if inside append_atom means we
would do the check also for the reset color. It would not change the
behavior (by construction, we insert it only when the stack has only the
initial element), so it's OK.

I agree that this is a good thing to do.

I can't decide between "ah, very elegant" and "no, too much magic" ;-).
I lean towards the former.

As this already allows us to use nested construct, I think we would
want to have test that uses

%(align:30,left)%(align:20,right)%(refname:short)%(end)%(end)

or something like that ;-)

Very nice.

The comment and the condition seem to be saying opposite things.
The code says "If the stack only has one prev that is the very
initial one, then we do the quoting, i.e. the result of expanding
the enclosed string in %(start-something)...%(end) is quoted only
when that appears at the top level", which feels more correct than
the comment that says "if we are about to pop after seeing the

we quote what is between %(another)...%(end)".

Hmmm, do we want to unconditionally do the quote here, or only when
we are not being captured by upcoming %(end) to be consistent with
the behaviour of end_atom_handler() above?

Ahh, this explains why you are not doing it above, but I do not
think if this is a good division of labor.

You can see that I expected that "if !state.stack->prev" check to be
inside append_atom(), and I would imagine future readers would have
the same expectation when reading this code.  I.e.

append_atom(struct atom_value *v, struct ref_f_s *state)
{
if (state->stack->prev)
strbuf_addstr(&state->stack->output, v->s);
else
quote_format(&state->stack->output, v->s, 
state->quote_style);
}

The end result may be the same, but I do think "append_atom is to
always quote, so we do an unquoted appending by hand" is a bad way
to do this.

Moreover, notice that the function signature of append_atom() is
exactly the same as atomv->handler's.  I wonder if it would be
easier to understand if you made append_atom() the handler for a
non-magic
