Package: less Version: 436-1 Severity: wishlist The less options -R or --RAW-CONTROL-CHARS do not work on non-vt100 terminals. http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/news.346.html
Consider: ... | groff -ms -Tlatin1 | less -R There groff -man uses overstrike which is emulated by less using terminfo. However, groff -ms ANSI ESC [ ... m escape sequences are not translated this way. This does not work on an ibm3151 or tvi950. It would work if it were translated in a similar way to screen (which is one possible work around). It would work for wy60 too. It would also help perldoc too. See bug #243370 which should be filed against perldoc as perldoc needs to supply the -R option. The less options -r and --raw-control-chars could remain for complete transparency. This is only a feature enhancement request. It does not exist upstream so I have CCed it there too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
