Weak Oppose Royal Crown ("RC") Cola. --Johnny (Cuervo) 21:05, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fonts[edit]

The fonts that used for code examples, which supposedly should be fixed-width (because they use either <TT>/</TT> or <PRE>/</PRE> constructs), are rendered just like normal fonts. I looked at the page source, and it really has some stylesheets that do explictly command that bogus behavior. How do we get rid of those bogus stylesheets? Pappires (talk) 03:23, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Didn't look at the source, but FWIW, it renders fine (i.e. in a fixed width font) for me. --Cybercobra (talk) 03:32, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

,,More dynamic piping´´[edit]

How are the examples in that part of the article ,,more dynamic´´ than what Bash supports?

Yes, their syntax is simpler.

Yes, feel free to say ,,in rc, dynamic piping is much simpler.´´

No, rc is not ,,more powerful´´ in that aspect. Read bash(1) and stop fanboying. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.116.207.116 (talk) 15:20, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The shell in question here is sh(1). In any case, reading bash(1) is a daunting task. It is longer than rc's entire source code by a wide margin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.225.161.132 (talk) 05:23, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rc → Rc (Unix shell) – (and redirect rc to RC) Not primary topic by pageviews or long-term significance (not prominent in search results on Google Scholar/Books). Hameltion (talk | contribs) 18:05, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Weak support many other uses are proper nouns but at least could be searched with lower case. Crouch, Swale (talk) 18:15, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
