If I may step in here, currently both of these macros don't seem to do more than a direct "man something" followed by Ctrl+KP Enter. Wasn't Tony's idea to help reading by highlighting bold and underlined text with rangesets? This would require the manResult to hold this formatting information, so one should call "man -Tlatin1 " for instance. Now, the code for doing the coloring isn't efficient. I think it took well over one minute until this macro finished on the bash manpage. Here is a more efficient way, which takes roughly seven seconds for bash(1), but this is a very large manpage. http://nedit.gmxhome.de/macros/manViewer2.nm The only downside is you have to wait this long until you can see the result, whereas the current version puts the output of man directly in a window and starts searching and coloring therein. So, if one doesn't feel disturbed by the macro running, one can start reading directly. Jörg -- NEdit Develop mailing list - [email protected] http://www.nedit.org/mailman/listinfo/develop
