OK -- if that's so, then I have a problem.
Lots of software produces ascii files with underlines;
nroff (eg man-pages) produces such output.
So, my question:
How to get output-with-some-outlining into an ascii
file, so that "more", for instance, would show it
with underlines?
Or, suppose you had a man page from unix translated
into html. What would you have to do to produce a
file from that that, when displayed via more, would
look just like a man page, perhaps like a file done
via:
nroff -man foo.1 > foo.out ; more foo.out
This is what I need to do.
On the lynx screen I see underlines just fine.
What do I have to do to produce a more-able file
via P(rint)?
THANKS!
