Package: man-db Version: 2.4.3-3 Severity: wishlist Hrumf. Can't use LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.utf8 or else ASCII examples get turned into smart quotes oversmartness: $ env|egrep LC\|zh LC_MESSAGES=C LC_COLLATE=C LANG=zh_TW.utf8 LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.utf8 $ man bash|grep /bfox|cat -v [EMAIL PROTECTED]/var/mail/bfox?"You have mail":~/shell-mail?"$_ has $ LC_CTYPE=C man bash|grep /bfox|cat -v MAILPATH='/var/mail/bfox?"You have mail":~/shell-mail?"$_ has So in emacs I must do (setq manual-program "LC_CTYPE=C man") but what about in the shell? man --ascii apparently is something different.
I can no longer cut and paste examples from man pages, I mean weren't those examples meant to be ASCII? Am I to blame? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
