Highlight today in cal

[shogun1234]

Searching this forum and the internet with the keywords highlight and cal, but I don't find related discussion. So I post my question here.

In the past every time when typing the command cal today will be highlighted in the terminal. However several months ago (I do not know the reason and exact time when this happened) suddenly when typing cal, no longer any highlight for today. So I execute man cal, but do not find any way to highlight today as well (there is a way to turn off -h Turns off highlighting of today. but that's weird because it's already been turned off without specifying h option). Any way to configure to highlight today when executing cal command? Thanks

Code: Select all

ncal

shows it but I'm not sure why cal doesn't. What version of Debian are you using? It doesn't highlight in my Bullseye version.

I just had a short play with it and cal doesn't seem to take most of the options listed in the man page. To display the behaviour you are expecting with highlighting, use:

Code: Select all

ncal -C

Code: Select all

alias cal='ncal -C'

and put this in .bash_aliases.

Thanks, sunrat. Seeing the same thing here with cal in Bullseye.
