Hey suckless developers,
first let me thank you for your great work. dwm and st have become my main
linux tools as a base to control nearly everything, as long I don't switch to
my plan9 virtual machine and do things in rc terminals or acme windows.
But today a bug in st burned some hours. So let me tell you the short story:
The main systems I use have a plain gentoo installed, because that's a good way
to keep a system up-to-date, once you got familiar with gentoo at all. I'm not
sure yet if OpenRC is really much better than systemd, though, so if I would
need to choose today I might switch to a plain debian, that I often use on
servers.
Gentoo has a little trick to display manual pages, using a
`MANPAGER=/usr/bin/manpager` command, that is a simple command compiled from
the attached manpager.c command, which does nothing more then the shell script
LESS_TERMCAP_mb='[5;31m' # BLINK[0m [5;31m
LESS_TERMCAP_md='[1;34m' # BOLD[0m [1;34m
LESS_TERMCAP_me='[0;0m'
LESS_TERMCAP_us='[4;36m' # UNDERLINE[0m [4;36m
LESS_TERMCAP_ue='[0;0m'
LESS_TERMCAP_so='[3;90m' # ITALIC[0m [3;90m
LESS_TERMCAP_se='[0;0m'
#export LESS_TERMCAP_{mb,md,me,us,ue,so,se}
exec less
without the _so and _se lines. But I like this italic setup, so I added the
standout mode.
To do such switches in a more readable, suckless way one should actually use
tput, imho, to switch the modes and select the colors:
ITALIC_BLACK=`tput sitm; tput setaf 0`
That works with xterm, but with st it selects a yellow color, which is a bit
disturbing, as I use a light background and I cannot read yellow.
So the basic bug is, that "sitm" (start italic mode) also affects the color. Actually it
only affects "setaf 0". Most other colors aren't affected, which you can quick check
with:
for i in `seq 0 255`
do tput setaf $i
tput sitm
echo -n "Test it!"
tput ritm
echo "Test it!"
done
Maybe thats a problem of the terminfo file. I didn't checked that yet, but
maybe someone else already had such a problem too, so I wanted to ask first if
that is considered a bug and if someone might already have a handy solution to
it.
Actually "tput ncf" says "3", which means that the italic attribute cannot be
used with colors. But that is a lie. I would say, the italic attribute can only be used with colors.
Best Regards,
Ingo
