NAME

6       ansi2html - ansi to HTML converter
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ansi2html [-nwctl] <log >outfile
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ansi2html  will convert the ANSI log into an HTML page, converting ANSI
13       color codes into appropriate tags.  All common  colors  and  attributes
14       are supported.
15

OPTIONS

17       -n, --no-header
18              Don't  produce  an  HTML  header.  This allows including the log
19              into a web page you make some other way.   You  are  responsible
20              for  setting  background color appropriately — to black or some‐
21              thing dark in the default on-black mode, or to white/light  when
22              -w  is  used.  Fancy-schmancy background images are fine as long
23              as they are dark (or light) enough.
24
25       -w, --white
26              Make the background white.  This is contrary to  most  terminals
27              but  matches  most  webpages.  Text requested to be bolded (nor‐
28              mally bright white) will be  turned  bold  black,  but  explicit
29              bright  white will not be changed, becoming invisible (just like
30              explicit black is invisible in the normal on-black  mode),  same
31              as on real terminals (see -c).
32
33       -c, --contrast
34              Forbid  invisible  text.   Whenever  foreground color is same as
35              background, it'll be turned halfway across the color  space  (so
36              white  and black become gray).  This is inaccurate wrt real ter‐
37              minals, and most web users already know how  to  mouse-highlight
38              "spoiler"  text,  but can be useful if you process logs that as‐
39              sume different white-vs-black background than you.
40
41       -t, --title text
42              Set the page title to the  next  argument.   Mutually  exclusive
43              with -n.
44
45       -l, --no-wrap
46              Disable  word-wrapping.   Like  text  terminals, ansi2html wraps
47              text by default, which is contrary to the usual browser  default
48              for plain text.
49
50       --style text
51              Injects  some  text  into the stylesheet, obviously doesn't make
52              any sense with -n.  Example: --style 'pre  {font-family:  Conso‐
53              las}'
54

CAVEATS

56       Most  ANSI  codes  other than color codes are ignored; possibly causing
57       misformatted output.  In general, anything unfit for a hardcopy  termi‐
58       nal won't work.
