@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Colorized manpages have been a thing for a very long time:

Problem is, hardly anybody knows this, because you configure this by … drumroll … overwriting TERMCAP entries of less in your ~/.bashrc:

export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\e[38;5;3m'      # Bold
    export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\e[0m'           # End Bold
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\e[4;38;5;6m'    # Underline
    export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\e[0m'           # End Underline
export GROFF_NO_SGR=1                     # Needed since groff 1.23

How do you get your man pages to hyphenate? Mine doesn’t do it.

Oh, holy crap, it just did it now! 🤯

@bender@twtxt.net This should be a core feature, no configuration required. 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de yeah, I think something glitched at my end for a brief moment. It does it just fine.
