Colorize URLs in opam info output #4565

Open aantron opened 3 years ago

aantron commented 3 years ago

For example, the following is only part of the output of one info command — and it fills most of my terminal window. It would save a bit of frustration if some of the human-oriented links (homepage, bug-reports) were colored, say, blue, as they can be difficult to pick out when working quickly. Some of the other output is already colored, so this shouldn't be much trouble.

I also noticed that there is no output corresponding to the doc field, which seems pretty important. I suppose I should open a separate issue about that.

synopsis      Code coverage for OCaml
description
          Bisect_ppx helps you test thoroughly. It is a small preprocessor
          that inserts instrumentation at places in your code, such as
          if-then-else and
          match expressions. After you run tests, Bisect_ppx gives a nice HTML
          report
          showing which places were visited and which were missed.
          Usage is simple - add package bisect_ppx when building tests, run your
          tests,
          then run the Bisect_ppx report tool on the generated visitation files.

The idea is still potentially useful, though two points as it's causing pain right now:
