 9.11 Highlighting parts of PO files
 ===================================
 
    Translators are usually only interested in seeing the untranslated
 and fuzzy messages of a PO file.  Also, when a message is set fuzzy
 because the msgid changed, they want to see the differences between the
 previous msgid and the current one (especially if the msgid is long and
 only few words in it have changed).  Finally, it’s always welcome to
 highlight the different sections of a message in a PO file (comments,
 msgid, msgstr, etc.).
 
    Such highlighting is possible through the options ‘--color’ and
 ‘--style’.  They are supported by all the programs that produce a PO
 file on standard output, such as ‘msgcat’, ‘msgmerge’, and ‘msgunfmt’.
