 ### Using a different pager
 
 `bat` uses the pager that is specified in the `PAGER` environment variable. If this variable is not
-set, `less` is used by default. If you want to use a different pager, you can either modify the
-`PAGER` variable or set the `BAT_PAGER` environment variable to override what is specified in
-`PAGER`.

 >[!NOTE]
 > If `PAGER` is `more` or `most`, `bat` will silently use `less` instead to ensure support for colors.

+Example: '\-\-pager "less \fB\-RF\fR"'.
 
 Note: By default, if the pager is set to 'less' (and no command-line options are specified), 'bat' will pass the following command line options to the pager: '-R'/'--RAW-CONTROL-CHARS', '-F'/'--quit-if-one-screen' and '-X'/'--no-init'. The last option ('-X') is only used for 'less' versions older than 530. The '-R' option is needed to interpret ANSI colors correctly. The second option ('-F') instructs less to exit immediately if the output size is smaller than the vertical size of the terminal. This is convenient for small files because you do not have to press 'q' to quit the pager. The third option ('-X') is needed to fix a bug with the '--quit-if-one-screen' feature in old versions of 'less'. Unfortunately, it also breaks mouse-wheel support in 'less'. If you want to enable mouse-wheel scrolling on older versions of 'less', you can pass just '-R' (as in the example above, this will disable the quit-if-one-screen feature). For less 530 or newer, it should work out of the box.
