2025-05-05 20:48:18 +0200 <hellwolf> I had similar issue when doing nix related --help a while ago. Now the problems have all just happily disappeared. I still dont' know what happened.

2025-05-05 20:38:49 +0200 <monochrom> spelling gnu
2025-05-05 20:38:31 +0200 <hellwolf> from spelling bee to gnulongoptions bee
2025-05-05 20:37:54 +0200 <tomsmeding> hellwolf: also, you have to get much more primitive than xterm for plain 3-bit ansi color escapes to not work
2025-05-05 20:36:43 +0200 <tomsmeding> (`env -u PAGER cabal man` works for me)
2025-05-05 20:36:21 +0200 <tomsmeding> perhaps I'll try unsetting PAGER for a while and seeing whether anything uses more(1)
2025-05-05 20:36:16 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> it's a bit out of control
2025-05-05 20:36:09 +0200 <tomsmeding> it seems man(1) defaults to less(1) these days
2025-05-05 20:36:05 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> less has _so many_ options..
2025-05-05 20:34:54 +0200 <tomsmeding> `less -r` is for living dangerously
2025-05-05 20:34:10 +0200 <tomsmeding> -R makes less(1) print ansi escape sequences as-is to the terminal instead of, well, escaping them
2025-05-05 20:33:46 +0200 <monochrom> But actually I only remember adding -i myself, I don't recall why I added -R, I don't even recall hearing about -R at all.
2025-05-05 20:33:14 +0200 <haskellbridge> <sm> in hledger, if we see PAGER=less, we append some options like -R to user's LESS

2025-05-05 20:32:53 +0200 <monochrom> I had "export LESS=-iR" in my .profile a long time ago.
2025-05-05 20:32:38 +0200 <tomsmeding> me too
2025-05-05 20:32:34 +0200 <hellwolf> I have PAGER set to "less"
2025-05-05 20:32:04 +0200 <tomsmeding> that's not how that works
2025-05-05 20:31:55 +0200 <tomsmeding> it sees that $PAGER is set and uses that _instead_ of `less -R`
2025-05-05 20:31:47 +0200 <tomsmeding> oh

2025-05-05 20:30:15 +0200 <tomsmeding> I suspect it's calling less(1) without -R or something
2025-05-05 20:30:03 +0200 <tomsmeding> I'm using a terminal with 24-bit color support
2025-05-05 20:29:49 +0200 <hellwolf> are you using xterm or some primitive stuff
2025-05-05 20:29:03 +0200 <tomsmeding> `cabal man` for me gives me a manpage-like thing but with all the ANSI escape codes literally printed out :p
2025-05-05 20:21:14 +0200 <EvanR> that's why email was a nice compromise

2025-05-05 20:13:16 +0200 <hellwolf> Maybe you meant `man`?
