## Paging
|
||||
|
||||
When showing long output in the terminal, hledger will try to use
|
||||
the pager specified by the `$PAGER` environment variable, otherwise `less`, otherwise `more`.
|
||||
the pager specified by the `PAGER` environment variable, or `less`, or `more`.
|
||||
(A pager is a helper program that shows one page at a time rather than scrolling everything off screen).
|
||||
Currently it does this only for help output, not for reports; specifically,
|
||||
|
||||
- when listing commands, with `hledger`
|
||||
- when showing help with `hledger [CMD] --help`,
|
||||
- when viewing manuals with `hledger help` or `hledger* --man`.
|
||||
- when viewing manuals with `hledger help` or `hledger --man`.
|
||||
|
||||
Note the pager is expected to handle ANSI codes, which hledger uses eg for bold emphasis.
|
||||
For the common pager `less` (and its `more` compatibility mode),
|
||||
we add `R` to `$LESS` and `$MORE` environment variables to make this work.
|
||||
If you use a different pager, you might need to configure it yourself to avoid seeing junk on screen
|
||||
(let us know so we can improve this).
|
||||
Otherwise, you can set the `$NO_COLOR` environment variable to 1 to disable all ANSI output
|
||||
(see [Colour](#colour)).
