Parse Terminal Colors

[RaitaroH]

Not sure how to do it. The color itself simply ends up as the color code instead. Would be nice to have this to get some nice visual. I want my update icons for ex to change color so is more visible.

echo "$(tput setaf 1)Red text $(tput setab 7)and white background$(tput sgr 0)"
echo '\e[1;34m%-6s\e[m' "This is text"

<font color="#a94d37">This text is orange</font>

Unfortunately coloring the text this way mangles the spacing, as discussed in #12. So this issue should remain open until coloring the text preserves the text being colored.

To https://www.pling.com/u/rumcho/, the widget does not parse terminal colors, but it can use an HTML subset:

You can use   to re add spacing.

Git master should now parse:

• \033[m Reset
• \033[0m Reset
• \033[1m Bold
• \033[30m - \033[37m FG Normal Colors
• \033[90m - \033[97m FG Bright Colors
• \033[1;30m Bold Normal Colors are automagically converted to Bright Colors (30 + 60 = 90)
• \033[38;2;255m 8-Bit Preset Colors (Only Tested a couple colors in journalctl)
• \033[38;5;255;255;255m RGB Color (Untested)

I've tested:

• git -C ~/Code/plasma-applet-commandoutput log --oneline
• git -C ~/Code/plasma-applet-commandoutput log --color --oneline
• SYSTEMD_COLORS=1 journalctl -q -b0 -n20
  • \033[0;1;38;5;185m
  • \033[0;1;39m

Todo:

• 39, which should not reset boldness (slightly annoying to implement).

Edit: Now should support 8-bit and RGB color mode.
