-Let ANSI escape sequences pass through directly to the terminal.  This option

address@hidden to make Info remove them.
+By default, Info passes SGR terminal control sequences (also known as
+ANSI escape sequences) found in documents directly through to the
+terminal.  If you use the @code{--no-raw-escapes} options, these
+sequences are displayed as other control characters are; for example, an
address@hidden byte is displayed as @samp{^[}.  The @code{--raw-escapes} and
address@hidden options do not do anything, but are included for completeness.
