| 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 20:38:31 +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 |
