Cannot convert files from ANSI-art galleries

Hello, while trying to convert this .ans file with your script:

cat fist.ans | ./ansi2html.sh -p > fist.html

I received a mess. Should your script work with these files?

It would be good to get a screenshot as my terminal doesn't make much sense of it either with: iconv -fiso-8859-1 < fist.ans

This image looks to be made from multiple passes, but ansi2html isn't handling resetting the position and is just outputting them one after another.

   iconv -fiso-8859-1 < pb.o/scripts/priv/ansi2html/ansi2html_tests/fist.ans

The image should render thus—if that's what you ask.

Do you mean that the failure of your script to render that file is expected behavior? If so, it shame because a shell script one of the most simple, portable, and self-contained solutions. Could you, perhaps, consider implementing multipass support? It would make you script a great tool for many ANSI-art galleries, such as the one whence I downloaded the fist.ans expample.

Sorry for the previous message. I didn't know Github did not process Markdown correctly when loading it from e-mails.

Thanks for the screenshot. Ideally the script should handle this

So you accept this issue as a change request? Great news, and many thanks.
