Package: less Version: 394-2 Followup-For: Bug #205702
it would be nice if you could provide the text preprocessors, such as for man pages, as an option, perhaps as a separate script. it is not trivial for users to figure out how to process man pages to work with less. recently, my setup which worked fine on man zshall stopped including the other pages, and the zsoelim error messages disappeared because less took over the screen and they did not appear after less quit. i don't have the time now to try to fix it, so i am stuck with running less without good man page support or running man without good paging support (i like to go to the next file inside less rather than one at a time). we get it that you don't want to have less preprocess text :-). but doing so as an option should be beneficial, without affecting default behavior. thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.16myver Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages less depends on: ii debianutils 2.16.1 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii libc6 2.3.6-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libncurses5 5.5-2 Shared libraries for terminal hand less recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
