Ansi to Html
This is a port of the ansi to html converter from bcat to Javascript.
It has a few additions:
- The API has been altered to accept options in the constructor, and input in
toHtml()
. - ANSI codes for setting the foreground or background color to default are handled
- the 'erase in line' escape code (\x1b[K) is dropped from the output.
Installation
npm install ansi-to-html
Usage
var Convert = require('ansi-to-html');
var convert = new Convert();
console.log(convert.toHtml('\x1b[30mblack\x1b[37mwhite'));
/*
prints:
<span style="color:#000">black<span style="color:#AAA">white</span></span>
*/
Command line usage
