Per-entry color/styling
It would be nice to be able to specify colors (and possibly simple styling) for each line in input.
I am a bit unsure how it would be done in practice though, so I'm leaving this issue here as a sort of self-reminder.
If you happen to see this and have any input, please leave a comment 😄
Examples using a single delimiter:
"bg:#123456,fg:#123456\tDisplayed Line""\tDisplayed Line"- would use default colors"fg:#123456\tDisplayed Line"- would use the default background"align:right\tDisplayed Line""Displayed Line"- would error
Examples using a multiple delimiters (more complex implementation):
"fg:#123456\tDisplayed \tfg:#654321\tLine"- would display "Displayed Line" in two different colors"align:left\tLeft\talign:right\tRight"- would display "Left" to the left and "Right" to the right"Displayed Line"- would not error
It would be a flag (-C) such that it wouldn't break on regular input.
Questions:
- Is the flexibility worth the complexification?
- How would overlapping be prevented for lines with multiple
alignoptions? - Is TAB the best delimiter for this?
