Joe's Own Editor Debian package ------------------------------- Inclusion of configuration files -------------------------------- Previously it was impossible to use a .joerc file without copying the entire set of defaults. Now there exists an ':include' statement which allows for the inclusion of other configuration files along with the one being read. In other words, put a ":include /etc/joe/joerc" at the end of one's ~/.joerc file and above that change only what you need. Back quotes or backticks (`) ---------------------------- The back quote character has a special meaning in joe, it is an escape character which invokes a special mode where the user can enter a three-digit ASCII code for non-printing characters. Locales with non-ASCII characters --------------------------------- In older versions of joe, it was necessary to use the -asis mode in order to see non-ASCII characters. This is no longer necessary because there is proper locale support now. Simply export the LANG environment variable and set it to your language, and joe will follow that.
