Syntax highlighting doesn't work properly for fish man pages about bat HOT 3 OPEN

@flohw Think your issue is different.

Can you check your groff version using

groff -v

And if it's 1.23.0, try adding MANROFFOPT='-c' and that should fix it.

Hi,

I have a similar issue, I think. I use zsh 5.9, bat 0.24 (installed via arch official repository) and I have MANPAGER=sh -c 'col -bx | bat -l man -p' too.
Not everything is orange for me but I have some color character which make it hard to read.

It works better with MANPAGER="bat -l man"`

But sometimes the behavior is very strange.

Let me know if you need more info.

Thank you

After some experimentations with my env vars, defining this variable worked fine.
Thank you

Some explanation if anyone struggle to configure it to their need:

 # For global use across the system (in your bashrc/zshrc)
export MANROFFOPT='-c'
# For local script global useage
MANROFFOPT='-c'
man -P "$MANPAGER' --paging always'" <man entry>
# For online usage
MANROFFOPT='-c' man -P $MANPAGER <man entry>

Note that I haven't tested each one and only based them on my experience. I hope to not have make mistake. :-)
