ansi color support for terminal cli #503

Open laoshaw opened 1 year ago

laoshaw commented 1 year ago

this converts to html like golang's chroma,which is based off pygmentize,can this package support colors in terminal programs too?

Can you explain what feature would you like? What markdown text would result in what HTML text?

Note that we stick pretty tightly to CommonMark specification, which I believe does not support and ANSI color syntax.

would like to convert markdown(commonmark is perfectly fine) to ansi-color output inside a terminal, e.g. dartless my.md can render markdown file with color for me to read at command line. dartless is a less command alternative written in dart, something like bat in rust, that I want to write. Thanks.

I see. Sorry we don't support anything like this. We intend to support a public, stable, syntax tree for Markdown nodes. Then you could, for example, render that tree as ANSI codes. https://github.com/dart-lang/markdown/issues/369
