 passes large sets of data through a pager. There are various way to
 change the colors.
 
 We can distinguish the coloration into 2 main categories:
 
-- The one that affect only the terminal client.

 As of IPython 5.0 the color configuration works as follows:
 
   - by default, ``TerminalInteractiveShell.highlight_style`` is set to
