# To load the extension, add it to your .hgrc file:

#
# To set the pager that should be used, set the application variable:
#
#   [pager]
#   pager = LESS='FSRX' less
#
# If no pager is set, the pager extensions uses the environment
# variable $PAGER. If neither pager.pager, nor $PAGER is set, no pager
# is used.
#
# If you notice "BROKEN PIPE" error messages, you can disable them
# by setting:
#
#   [pager]
#   quiet = True
#
# You can disable the pager for certain commands by adding them to the
# pager.ignore list:
#
#   [pager]
#   ignore = version, help, update
#
# You can also enable the pager only for certain commands using pager.attend:
#
#   [pager]
#   attend = log
#
# If pager.attend is present, pager.ignore will be ignored.
#
# To ignore global commands like 'hg version' or 'hg help', you have to specify them
# in the global .hgrc
