(Please CC me in any responses.) Hello,
>From what I can tell, SGR codes are on by default for terminal output for groff. They can be turned off by setting the GROFF_NO_SGR environmental variable. However, it seems that many distributions of groff have added another variable, GROFF_SGR, which is needed to turn these codes *on*. This is an issue with the standalone Info browser that is part of texinfo, which can pass through SGR codes when displaying man pages, but cannot display in bold and underline if the older "overstrike" method is used. I'm posting to see if anyone knows what the best way to document this is. Could groff document it as a variable that doesn't do anything, or could distributions of groff document it somehow? I don't know if it is a good idea to document GROFF_SGR in programs which use groff's output when it is not an "official" variable. Thanks, Gavin
