So I'll try again but this time the topics are merged :) 1. How can I get C code highlighting to Sam or Acme? 2. Is there a client like page(1) that allows me to copy text from a PDF file? Very useful while reading Fransisco's books... ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread

Use acme(1) to read Nemo's books in text format, it works so much better because you can just click on things. -- Aram Hăvărneanu ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
