Highlights in diagnostics

[andys8]

I personally would prefer other highlights than # in diagnostics. So I played around with some replacements. My prefered approach would be escape sequences. I tried it manually and with colorette but it didn't work.

#

current approach

Escape sequences

(not working)

*

_

[]

No highlights

_ for underline, [] for bold

const prettyPrint = (m: IStyledString) =>
  m.underline && m.bold
    ? `[_${m.string}_]`
    : m.underline
    ? `_${m.string}_`
    : m.bold
    ? `[${m.string}]`
    : m.string;

Note

Replacements like this need to be adapted.

After more input from different people I tend to propose a mixed highlighting:

• [] for bold
• _ for underlined
• * for color

Godsend! I had looked into this a few month ago and found it's impossible right then.
