Provide stream API with implicit conversions

Open epage opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Most term styling crates require the format-site to know the capabilities of the intended output stream. This complicates things when the the format-site and outputting are decoupled.

The idea for this is that people choose the ansi styling crate of their choice and a special set of stdout/stderr streams then handle the conversion of ansi styling to what the terminal is capable of.

Conversions

  • Graceful degration to lower colors or no colors
  • Convert to wincon api
