color nicks on logs ? #351

Closed pseudomyne closed 1 year ago

pseudomyne commented 5 years ago

Hi ! Is there any known way to get nicks colored when browsing through circe logs ? Any minor-mode ? Thank you

There is no such thing, no, you'd need to extend the lui-logging module for that. That aside, how exactly do you want colors to get there? Currently it's just plain text, there's at least the following options:

Log in a format recognized by pygments, then view logs through pygmentize with IRC highlighting
Emit ANSI escapes and view the file in a terminal (or a buffer set up to translate these)
Use enriched-mode to store the faces along with the text
Write HTML with inline CSS

Thanks for the answer, wasamasa. I need a bit of research to fully understand what you say :) I think I just want nicks to be coloured everywhere, just like in circe.

Another solution I've discovered recently: https://stevelosh.com/blog/2021/03/small-common-lisp-cli-programs/#s8-case-study-a-batch-coloring-utility

I've ported the batchcolor project to Scheme in an evening. Porting it to Emacs Lisp should take even less time.
