Me neither. I know them under the (probably vaguely incorrect) name "ANSI escape sequences". > However, I just > tried adding -c and -C to my groff line and I still have the > same thing. Here's my command line: > > groff -mandoc -stC -Tlatin1 tmsplx.xml.5 | col -b > catman/tmsplx.xml.5 The -c option mentioned is an option to grotty, so you have to "tunnel" it through groff's -P option. This works for me (with groff 1.19): groff -P-c -Tlatin1 -man [...] (To confuse things a bit, groff has a -c option which is documented to disable tty color output, which in turn requires SGR -- but it disables color and nothing more.) Alternatively, you may set the GROFF_NO_SGR shell environment variable. That's also mentioned in grotty(1). /Jörgen -- // Jörgen Grahn "Koka lopplummer, bada Ross, loppor borta." \X/ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- Jonas _______________________________________________ Groff mailing list Groff@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/groff
