{ Pengouin(BSD|Pdt) }Why do you rewrite a new man function?
I dont understand why you added `col -bx`? Option `-l` seems to arrange the text in columns; what is the diff?
Excuse-me, but I dont understand more! :(
I've read the col manpage, (before asking) but I dont understand why adding it to bat!
Sorry trying to remember where I got that from but was something related to this.

@justine
OK, good!
Thanks
See: https://doc.huc.fr.eu.org/en/post/bat-cat/ ;)
(particularly the acknowledgements section) :p
izzy@justine @obj i use zsh on my OpenBSD boxes, this is what i came up with:
if command -v bat &> /dev/null; then
zsh-defer eval $(bat --completion zsh)
export BAT_THEME=ansi
alias cat="bat -pp"
alias bat="bat -p"
# colored manpages
function man {
sh -c "man '$@' | col -bx | \bat -pl man"
}
# colored -h and --help
alias -g -- -h='-h 2>&1 | \bat -pl help'
alias -g -- --help='--help 2>&1 | \bat -pl help'
# help command
function help {
sh -c "'$@' --help 2>&1 | \bat -pl help"
}
fithe if command -v bat bit is nice to have in case bat for whatever reason isn’t on your system.
