   [OT]:but still about man pages   
   18 Jan 08 14:53:30   
   
   From: m.s.w@interia.pl   
      
   I just wonder what is responsible for the way man pages are displayed in   
   terminal? I mean, reading man pages by typing "man command" displays   
   text using "less" but some man pages are displayed in much better way.   
   They have colored keywords, options etc. Some doesn't. Is it possible to   
   make all man pages looks in the "nice" way without rewriting man pages   
   (for example by setting some man options)?   
      
   m.s.w
