 |
|
Is there a way to cut and paste console session output into a box in a (Gentoo) wiki page that preserves the ANSI colouring?
I think I found something once, but it's a long time ago. There are a couple of wiki templates, "{{Cmd|foo}}" and "{{RootCmd|bah}}", but they only fake a coloured prompt and monochrome output, whereas it should be a trivial matter to capture the ANSI output and paste it for rendering directly by the wiki engine.

There are tools to create html from "terminal output" (ANSI) like ansi2html and ansifilter, but you'd need to add much more into it. For example escape some characters etc...
I tested this | Code: | | eshowkw --color --overlays ansifilter | ansifilter --html | awk 'BEGIN {while ($1 != "<body>") getline} {if ($1 != "</body>") print; else exit}' |
... and it's pretty broken, without further processing. You get some colors (and broken layout) if you remove pre -tags from start and end.
Quite much effort for colored terminal text.

Does it handle ANSI animation?
