Editing: man-db
# priority=6 above the default 5 on the basis that viewing a man page # with man is above average sensible. # # Priority above /usr/lib/mime/packages/groff-base "nroff -mandoc" # since "man" has the advantage of running preprocessors such as tbl # specified in the man page and so gives better results. Eg on # /usr/share/man/man1/gtbl.1.gz (the tbl man page uses tbl). Locale # charset handling in man is probably better too. # # "man -X" is only priority=6 since the gxditview it runs is rather # basic and perhaps something more sophisticated could be higher. The # X entry is before the tty so the X is preferred under X. (The tty # one still works there, in its declared needsterminal.) # # "-X100" seems to make better output than the default -X 75 dpi. # Dunno if that's some font dodginess or matching the X server's # advertised screen size resolution or something. # # "test -e gxditview" because it's in the "groff" package which is # only a Suggests of man-db and so may not be available. application/x-troff-man; /usr/bin/man -X100 -l %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" -a -e /usr/bin/gxditview; description=Man page; priority=6 text/troff; /usr/bin/man -X100 -l %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY" -a -e /usr/bin/gxditview; description=Man page; priority=6 application/x-troff-man; /usr/bin/man -l %s; needsterminal; description=Man page; priority=6 text/troff; /usr/bin/man -l %s; needsterminal; description=Man page; priority=6 # "-Tascii" gives backspace overstriking, so use "col -b" to undo # that.
