Subject: Man-fontify-manpage does not handle man, version 1.5o1, ANSI escape sequences
Date: 28 Nov 2004 21:49:55 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20041128214955.13825.qmail@electricrain.com> (raw)
In GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
of 2003-11-02 on zot.electricrain.com
configured using `configure --prefix=/pkg/emacs-21.3 --without-x --without-jpeg --without-png'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
My GNU/Linux system recently had several upgrades:
kernel upgraded to 2.6.9
glibc upgraded to 2.3.3
man upgraded to 1.5o1
(other unknown upgrades, I'd have to ask administrator)
Since then my M-x man output has been full of ANSI escape sequences that
weren't previously there. I traced this to the fact that
Man-fontify-manpage assumes that the ANSI sequences will be terminated
by "\e[0m". However, the new "man" output uses more specific attribute
termination sequences. For example:
bold "\e[22m"
underline "\e[24m"
reverse "\e[27m"
I append a fix below. Basically I pull out the code that previously only
handled ANSI bold sequences and replace it with a new function
Man-fontify-manpage-ANSI that I call from Man-fontify-manpage to handle
bold, underlining, and reverse video.
Previously I reported another Man-fontify-manpage bug that remains
unfixed at CVS head:
Man-fontify-manpage does not handle MKS man ANSI escape sequences
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2003-06/msg00147.html
This fix supercedes that bug.
