Unable to change the font in bold to yellow font in Less

  • 772

Problem: to change the bolding which affects the word "expression" to the color yellow in Less: alt text http://files.getdropbox.com/u/175564/man-bolding-highlight.png

My commands which affects Less

export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m'     # begin blinking
export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;31m'    # begin bold          
export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m'        # end mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m'        # end standout-mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[01;44;33m' # begin standout-mode
export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m'        # end underline
export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;32m'    # begin underline

How can you change the bolding to yellow?

    My manpage on debian/lenny has a different content, but I think you are searching for LESS_TERMCAP_us. give this a try:

    export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[01;33m'    # begin underline is now yellow

    My code for Less

         export LESS_TERMCAP_mb=$'\E[01;31m'         # begin blinking
     export LESS_TERMCAP_md=$'\E[01;38;5;74m'    # bold in blue
     export LESS_TERMCAP_me=$'\E[0m'        # end mode

     export LESS_TERMCAP_se=$'\E[0m'        # end standout-mode
     export LESS_TERMCAP_so=$'\E[38;5;246m' # begin standout-mode - info box
     export LESS_TERMCAP_ue=$'\E[0m'        # end underline

     export LESS_TERMCAP_us=$'\E[04;33;146m'    # begin underline is now yellow
     #                             |  |  |
     #                             |  |----------------- yellow
     #                             |-------------------- underline

    It is now much easier to read docs :)

    Thank you ThorntenS!
