Hello Angel,The 3.x branch have an option like that, but I never reimplemented it on 5.x, just because overriding DISPLAY is enough and nobody cared. If you think it's really important, I will reconsider it. Thank you. Back to the man page binary name inconsistency, I think the proper thing is to add an inline sed oneliner to replace 'mp-5' with 'mped' inside mped.1 in the Debian package build or install scripts and everything would be fine. Yes, a sed onliner should do it.
When I was talking with Barry deFreese about it, he said that isn't wasn't enough to have ncursesw in the build dependencies, he also had to add ncurses for it to work. He thought that the build was checking for the existence of the curses.h from the ncurses package, and then, if it found it, using the curses.h from the ncursesw package. Someone else in IRC commented "hmm ideally you should use the curses.h header from the ncursesw dir to match the library used" and Barry replied "Aye, that's an upstream bug". I hope that makes sense. As I'm writing this email, I would like to take this opportunity to ask whether MP supports highlighting multiple language syntaxes in one file. For example, could it highlight _javascript_ syntax inside an HTML document where the tags were also correctly highlighted? There could also be CSS and PHP in the same file. As a work around, or as an extra feature, you could have an option in the menus for selecting which highlighting to use on the current file. Thanks again for your help getting this package to as high a standard as possible. Best regards, Edwin |
