#10508: Terminal does not parse ANSI escapes in a pager, only on standard output -----------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Reporter: tidux | Owner: nobody Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: R1/beta1 Component: Applications/Command Line Tools | Version: Resolution: | R1/Development Blocked By: | Keywords: Has a Patch: 0 | Blocking: | Platform: All -----------------------------------------------+--------------------------- Changes (by bonefish): * owner: jackburton => nobody * component: Applications/Terminal => Applications/Command Line Tools Comment: If you run `man ... | less -r` the man page looks OK as well. man can actually be configured to invoke less with this switch (in /system/settings/man.conf), but in the man sources one can find a comment that having to do that indicates some kind of misconfiguration. I don't know what that refers to exactly, but I think the first step should be to oursource and update our ancient less. -- Ticket URL: <https://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/10508#comment:2> Haiku <https://dev.haiku-os.org> Haiku - the operating system.
