Command-line options like '-l'/'--language' that take values can be specified as

.IP
Explicitly set the language for syntax highlighting. The language can be
specified as a name (like 'C++' or 'LaTeX') or possible file extension
(like 'cpp', 'hpp' or 'md'). Use '\-\-list\-languages' to show all supported
language names and file extensions.
.HP

.IP
Display a list of supported languages for syntax highlighting.
.HP
\fB\-m\fR, \fB\-\-map\-syntax\fR <from:to>...
.IP
Map a file extension or file name to an existing syntax. For example, to
highlight *.conf files with the INI syntax, use '\-m conf:ini'. To
highlight files named '.myignore' with the Git Ignore syntax, use '\-m
\&.myignore:gitignore'.
.HP
\fB\-\-theme\fR <theme>
.IP
Set the theme for syntax highlighting. Use '\-\-list\-themes' to see all
available themes. To set a default theme, add the '\-\-theme="..."' option
to the configuration file or export the BAT_THEME environment variable
(e.g.: export BAT_THEME="...").

Display a list of supported themes for syntax highlighting.
.HP
\fB\-\-style\fR <style\-components>
.IP
Configure which elements (line numbers, file headers, grid borders, Git
modifications, ..) to display in addition to the file contents. The
argument is a comma\-separated list of components to display (e.g.
\&'numbers,changes,grid') or a pre\-defined style ('full'). To set a default
style, add the '\-\-style=".."' option to the configuration file or export
the BAT_STYLE environment variable (e.g.: export BAT_STYLE=".."). Possible
values: *auto*, full, plain, changes, header, grid, numbers, snip.
Show non\-printable characters like space, tab or newline. Use '\-\-tabs' to
control the width of the tab\-placeholders.

\&'\-\-terminal\-width' option can be used in addition to control the output
width.
