Second, are you saying that your input files contain code to change font and color; or is that just something you added to confuse us? Do we really have to parse the font and color changes within these lines so we not only copy changes to text but also possible changes to font, color, boldness, and italicization?

Third, you say that comment lines are to be ignored, but instead of ignoring them in the output, you add a space to the start of comment lines??? What do you mean by ignore: Do not change comment lines, or delete comment lines?

Fourth why would you limit us to using sed for this? Your specification of what is supposed to happen is ambiguous, but it seems that awk would be a much better tool for this job.

set_color(1)							       fish							      set_color(1)

NAME
set_color - set_color - set the terminal color set_color - set the terminal color Synopsis set_color [-v --version] [-h --help] [-b --background COLOR] [COLOR] Description Change the foreground and/or background color of the terminal. COLOR is one of black, red, green, brown, yellow, blue, magenta, purple, cyan, white and normal. o -b, --background Set the background color o -c, --print-colors Prints a list of all valid color names o -h, --help Display help message and exit o -o, --bold Set bold or extra bright mode o -u, --underline Set underlined mode o -v, --version Display version and exit Calling set_color normal will set the terminal color to whatever is the default color of the terminal. Some terminals use the --bold escape sequence to switch to a brighter color set. On such terminals, set_color white will result in a grey font color, while set_color --bold white will result in a white font color. Not all terminal emulators support all these features. This is not a bug in set_color but a missing feature in the terminal emulator. set_color uses the terminfo database to look up how to change terminal colors on whatever terminal is in use. Some systems have old and incomplete terminfo databases, and may lack color information for terminals that support it. Download and install the latest version of ncurses and recompile fish against it in order to fix this issue. Version 1.23.1 Sun Jan 8 2012 set_color(1)
