Ups, the referenced bug was giving a solution to me (I did not expect that it was updated recently). Exporting GROFF_NO_SGR=1. Closing, sorry for noise. |
I set something like that in my ~/.bashrc long time ago: man() { env \ LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$(printf "\e[1;31m") \ LESS_TERMCAP_md=$(printf "\e[1;31m") \ LESS_TERMCAP_me=$(printf "\e[0m") \ LESS_TERMCAP_se=$(printf "\e[0m") \ LESS_TERMCAP_so=$(printf "\e[1;44;33m") \ LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$(printf "\e[0m") \ LESS_TERMCAP_us=$(printf "\e[1;32m") \ man "$@" } This used to make my manual pages to be colorized the way I like it. But in F20 it is not working. I see that during rebase to man-db 2.6.4 there was removed patch man-db-2.5.9-sgr.patch which was used to add '-c' option to nroff. That means, now I must add '-c' option to nroff in /etc/man_db.conf by hand. IIUC, this was pretty used trick for colorized manual pages. Could we add the patch back to make it work by default? Or is there a better way to achieve colorized manual pages? (I see that reason for this patch was a little bit different in history, see bug ##655385). TIA, Pavel
