+enhanced by external filters to become more powerful. The input filter for
+less described here is called @code{lesspipe.sh}. It is able to process a
+wide variety of file formats. It enables users to inspect archives and
+display their contents without having to unpack them before. The filter is
+easily extensible for new formats.")
