Hello everyone, I understand the goal and the global strategy. It could be done with the `bat` package too. Based on the previous proposal, I show it below the Georges's steps.

The `bat` package highlights several languages, including crontab. So it would be simpler because there is no need to add a specific file: $ crontab -l | bat --language Crontab `-l` is usable instead of `--language`. For my usage, I will set an alias: alias crontabl='crontab -l | bat --language Crontab' I'm not sure if adding a `recommends: supercat` is a good idea. Perhaps adding the ways to highlight crontab in manpage is enough ? -- Stéphane
