In the call-process case, the environment variable GROFF_NO_SGR is set to 1, but in the start-process case, this does not happen. Is this intentional? (I have no idea what the env var does; "man groff" doesn't say. Maybe if I knew I'd also know that my question was silly. But as it is, maybe a comment in the source code could be useful?) -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I probably didn't notice, when I changed it to set GROFF_NO_SGR, that there were two places to do it. Would you please make it set that variable in both cases? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Not on my system :-/ But now I've Googled and found it. This confirms my speculation that GROFF_NO_SGR should be set in both cases. -- A preposition is not a good thing to end a sentence with. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
