Re: color display with man pages

Thank you Jatin.

I knew 'most' would work.
It is able to display colours as well.

But I am used to 'less' and its key bindings.

I am quite puzzled as why the termcap settings for less don't work in Fedora20.

Do you have any explanations??

Just a few hours ago I installed CentOS 7 and it worked fine there too with KDE.
Do you know any sort of workaround to this problem??

Hi all,

This is my first mail on fedora mailing list.

I can't get the following to display colours with LESS command on my terminal,
when viewing man pages.
I am using Fedora 20 with KDE. My shell is zsh.
-----------
man()
{
env LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;34m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;33;40m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m' \
LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;04;35m' \
man "$@"
}


have you tried "most" ..??

try following

yum install most

export PAGER="most"

or

export PAGER="/usr/bin/most -s"

now try to viewing man for any command

say

man date
