'''browse command output with external pager

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
