ansi2html - ansi to HTML converter
ansi2html [-nwctl] <log
>outfile
ansi2html will convert the ANSI log into an HTML page,
converting ANSI color codes into appropriate tags. All common colors and
attributes are supported.
- -n,
--no-header
- Don't produce an HTML header. This allows including the log into a web
page you make some other way. You are responsible for setting background
color appropriately — to black or something dark in the default
on-black mode, or to white/light when -w is used. Fancy-schmancy
background images are fine as long as they are dark (or light)
enough.
- -w, --white
- Make the background white. This is contrary to most terminals but matches
most webpages. Text requested to be bolded (normally bright white) will be
turned bold black, but explicit bright white will not be changed,
becoming invisible (just like explicit black is invisible in the normal
on-black mode), same as on real terminals (see -c).
- -c,
--contrast
- Forbid invisible text. Whenever foreground color is same as background,
it'll be turned halfway across the color space (so white and black become
gray). This is inaccurate wrt real terminals, and most web users already
know how to mouse-highlight "spoiler" text, but can be useful if
you process logs that assume different white-vs-black background than
you.
- -t, --title
text
- Set the page title to the next argument. Mutually exclusive with
-n.
- -l, --no-wrap
- Disable word-wrapping. Like text terminals, ansi2html wraps text by
default, which is contrary to the usual browser default for plain
text.
- --style
text
- Injects some text into the stylesheet, obviously doesn't make any sense
with -n. Example: --style 'pre {font-family: Consolas}'
Most ANSI codes other than color codes are ignored; possibly
causing misformatted output. In general, anything unfit for a hardcopy
terminal won't work.
