- kstrauser 1y agoWhat do you prefer about that? I already use bat for syntax highlighting but haven't used it as a pager. Edit: Oh! That's pretty. Details are at https://github.com/sharkdp/bat?tab=readme-ov-file#man https://github.com/sharkdp/bat?tab=readme-ov-file#man
- WhyNotHugo 1y agoThis approach discards all mark-up, which bat tries to re-build with some heuristics. It works for the basic case, but not beyond that.Subsections get mangled (see sway-ipc as an example). Links disappear completely of course, since they don't even reach bat.
