Hi all,

AFAICT ANSI defines "7" as reverse mode. Changes to the colors function now
uses reverse mode instead of standout mode. Upto and including version 5.8.1
standout was defined here as 03 which is italic. In 5.9 italic was added as
03 and
standout was moved to 07 but was also commented out. Also no-italic was
added as 23 and no-standout was moved to 27 and commented out.

The attached patch updates the man pages and would reflect the change.

The one thing that looks strange about the change is prompt %S and %s,
previously
standout mode, will now mean reverse mode.

What I don't know is if C code behind things like:

zle_highlight=(region:standout special:standout
suffix:bold isearch:underline paste:standout)
would now support
zle_highlight=(region:reverse special:reverse
suffix:bold isearch:underline paste:reverse)

There may also be legacy scripts to consider.

The attached patch is submitted for your consideration.

Regards,

Jim Murphy
