# 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.
