Package: less Version: 481-2.1 Severity: normal less -R passes through ANSI color sequences; however, it seems to reset ANSI colors at each newline. For an example, try running the following:
/usr/bin/printf '\e[1mHello\nworld\n\e[0m' This should print two lines to the terminal, both of them bold. Then try running the same through less -R: /usr/bin/printf '\e[1mHello\nworld\n\e[0m' | less -R This shows the first line bold, and the second line normal. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.7.0-rc7-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages less depends on: ii debianutils 4.8 ii libc6 2.23-4 ii libtinfo5 6.0+20160625-1 less recommends no packages. less suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
