support rxi/log.lua #5

Closed SiENcE closed 8 years ago

What about adding support for your rxi/log.lua coloring?

rxi commented 8 years ago

If you wanted to add this yourself the easiest way to go about it would probably be to wrap lovebird.print() (or override it) and replace the ANSI color escape codes with the corresponding HTML tags for coloring the text before passing it to the original lovebird.print() function (also making sure to set lovebird.allowhtml to true). Even easier still might be to modify log.lua to use HTML instead of ANSI color codes.

I didn't have plans to do this and I likely won't accept such changes into either project. It seems out of the scope of log.lua and log.lua doesn't seem like it would be used by enough people to make it worth changing lovebird for.

That being said if you decide to make the changes I mention above for your own project and get stuck let me know, I'd be happy to answer questions.

Sorry for late reply.

Thanks for help and your suggestion to just overwrite lovebird.print()!
