Any search matches will be shown in bold, and underlined. Moreover, if there is a search match inside a cross-reference, the ‘<samp>nocolor</samp>’ rendition style will cancel the yellow color, leaving the text in the match the terminal’s default color. (Note, however, that the rendition styles for active cross-references take priority over those for search matches, so search matches there will still be displayed in yellow.) </p> <hr> <div class="header"> <p> Next: <a href="Custom-Key-Bindings.html" accesskey="n" rel="next">Custom Key Bindings</a>, Previous: <a href="Variables.html" accesskey="p" rel="prev">Variables</a>, Up: <a href="index.html" accesskey="u" rel="up">Top</a> [<a href="index.html#SEC_Contents" title="Table of contents" rel="contents">Contents</a>][<a href="Index.html" title="Index" rel="index">Index</a>]</p> </div> </body> </html>
