Hi everyone, after rebuilding and reconfiguring my joes on three platforms, I wanted to test "-rmargin nnn" from the command line. I called "joe -rmargin 72" and did some typing (pasting, actually ;->). Woops, joe still uses the default 77 (from the global joerc). The reason is (probably) obvious, it's even in the man page: "The following options may be specified before each filename on the command line: [...]" (Which is indeed a nice feature, if you know it, and a pain, if you're not aware of it.) I didn't give a filename, so the option is ignored! Since it's (basically) documented, it's a feature, not a bug. ;-) But it riddles my understanding of options, to tell the truth. Would you like to fix this, or is there a workaround to enable this option nonetheless. No, "joe -rmargin 72 /dev/null" is not intuitive. ;-) (And not feasible as a workaround when using joe in a pipe.) Thanks, greetings from Germany, Moritz |
