I found 'col -b' useful for filtering the output of 'man' to pass into Vim. The problematic items filtered by 'col -b' were color, underline, and other such things, which I assumed were done in the same way in your makefile. I have no further experience in such things, and have never made intentional use of such formatting. Apparently my assumption was invalid. My mistake. -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to. For more information, visit http://www.vim.org/maillist.php
