It is what is written on the man page and what less does. I should update it. Maybe -R is a better idea. Maybe it is what sbase used to have. >It works, but if you place > util-linux's ul(1) between man(1) and iode you will see > a problem. I see ^O (shift-in) characters at the end of bold sequences. Is that what you mean? Less does not handle these neither, but I can, I could just set it to ignore them. > I'm working on libgraffiti which ul(1) will use, it will > support all escape sequences (I have read long lists of > escape sequences to find a pattern that recognise all > of them) along will things like combining marks.

Yes, I will change it after line folding. Do not hesitate to ask for explanation if something is unclear in the source.
