2014-05-28in the compat with more section, document:Jason McIntyre
- the sense of -c is inverted - -GX are on by default - fold the note on -d into the stuff on -GX i deliberately left out mentioning -l being on by default, since i think the note below (all LESS vars are ignored) covers it adequately; ok millert
2014-05-28When invoked as more, make the -i option behave the same as less'sTodd C. Miller
-I to match POSIX. OK and man bits from jmc@

2014-05-10Give more(1) its own help file, shorter than the one for less(1).Ingo Schwarze
The helpfile itself was prepared by jmc@, the glue by me. OK millert@ jmc@
2014-05-09zap the commented out stuff from this file: it mainly pertains to otherJason McIntyre
systems, and our page is sufficiently far away from upstream to justify it; ok millert
2014-05-09move some remnants of more behaviour to the compat section, and use Xr forJason McIntyre
refs to more instead of Nm;
2014-05-08whack some useless verbiage from DESCRIPTION, and merge some of it intoJason McIntyre
the env vars section; tidy up the env vars section and remove the commented out stuff which relataes mainly to less on other systems;

zap some trailing whitespace introduced in recent update
2014-05-01the beginning of removing more details from this page, since we now haveJason McIntyre
a separate more(1): it's a big page so i'm doing it in bits. in this commit, remove more stuff from SYNOPSIS, remove some cleverness from SYNOPSIS, and use consistent argument names;
2014-04-29Remove support for the obsolete (non-POSIX) "more -d" prompt.Todd C. Miller
This was a local change that was only enabled when the LESS_IS_MORE environment variable was set and not when invoked as "more". OK shadchin@ jmc@
2014-04-26Kill the link to /usr/bin/page. OK henning@ jmc@ miod@ schwarze@Todd C. Miller
2014-04-26Revert 1.11. That patch is not only not necessary, it is quite harmful now.Alexandr Shadchin

2014-04-25Make more(1) POSIX compliant with respect to the -e option.Ingo Schwarze
By default, "more" now works like "less -e", and "more -e" now works like "less -E", and more never exits just because the file fits on the first screen, like "less -F" would. While documenting this, add some text to the DESCRIPTION explaining how paging works. That allows a very concise description of -e. code change ok millert@ manual page joint work with and ok jmc@

2014-04-19tiny fix: Remove duplicate rows, they appeared after importing less 444Alexandr Shadchin
suggested Daniel Dickman
2014-04-14Deny requests to display interactive help unless we can be really sureIngo Schwarze
that they actually result from the user interactively asking for help. Help requests originating from various other sources caused infinite loops. OK millert@ "better than getting stuck in a help loop (sweet irony ;)" jmc@
2014-04-14Explain how -p works with respect to multiple commands, and provide EXAMPLES;Ingo Schwarze
feedback and ok jmc@ millert@.
2014-04-12Reference re_format(7), not ed(1) when talking about regexp matching.Todd C. Miller
2014-04-12more(1) is not an editor, so don't say -t will "edit" a file;Ingo Schwarze
wording suggested by millert@, also discussed with sobrado@
2014-04-12- simplify macros in COMMANDSJason McIntyre
- some clean up - don;t document VISUAL, since we're sticking to posix stuff here ok millert
2014-04-12Unlike less, more should use basic regular expressions.Todd C. Miller
OK schwarze@
2014-04-10remove some obsolescent text and tweak -p slightly; ok millertJason McIntyre
2014-04-09The -p option now matches POSIX. With jmc@Todd C. Miller
2014-04-09- move the "more is less" blurb to a more relevant placeJason McIntyre
- document in STANDARDS that we do not have an equivalent "skip" command ok millert
2014-04-09In "more" mode, POSIX says the command specified by the -p optionTodd C. Miller
should apply to every edited file, not just the first one. It is equivalent to less's ++ option. Patch sent to upstream. OK shadchin@

2014-04-07some initial cleanup;Jason McIntyre
2014-04-07First cut at a separate more(1), based on the 4.4BSD more.1.Todd C. Miller
There are a number of commands listed that POSIX does not specify which we may want to remove or at least document as extensions.
2014-04-07Back out rev 1.30, our less does actually support the old-style moreTodd C. Miller
-d flag.

2012-08-12Use .Lk for HTTP hyperlinks, not .Pa.Ingo Schwarze
Most of the patch from Arto Jonsson <ajonsson at kapsi dot fi>. jmc@ agrees in principle that .Lk is the right macro to use. While here, update a few broken links, and add missing markup at a few places.
