ansi2html(1) General Commands Manual ansi2html(1) NAME ansi2html - ansi to HTML converter SYNOPSIS ansi2html [-nwctl] <log >outfile DESCRIPTION ansi2html will convert the ANSI log into an HTML page, converting ANSI color codes into appropriate tags. All common colors and attributes are supported. OPTIONS -n, --no-header Don't produce an HTML header. This allows including the log into a web page you make some other way. You are re‐ sponsible for setting background color appropriately — to black or something dark in the default on-black mode, or to white/light when -w is used. Fancy-schmancy background images are fine as long as they are dark (or light) enough. -w, --white Make the background white. This is contrary to most terminals but matches most webpages. Text requested to be bolded (normally bright white) will be turned bold black, but explicit bright white will not be changed, becoming in‐ visible (just like explicit black is invisible in the normal on-black mode), same as on real terminals (see -c). -c, --contrast Forbid invisible text. Whenever foreground color is same as background, it'll be turned halfway across the color space (so white and black become gray). This is inaccurate wrt real terminals, and most web users already know how to mouse-highlight "spoiler" text, but can be useful if you process logs that assume different white-vs-black back‐ ground than you. -t, --title text Set the page title to the next argument. Mutually exclusive with -n. -l, --no-wrap Disable word-wrapping. Like text terminals, ansi2html wraps text by default, which is contrary to the usual browser default for plain text. --style text Injects some text into the stylesheet, obviously doesn't make any sense with -n. Example: --style 'pre {font-family: Consolas}' CAVEATS Most ANSI codes other than color codes are ignored; possibly causing misformatted output. In general, anything unfit for a hardcopy terminal won't work. SEE ALSO ansi2txt(1), ttyrec2ansi(1), pipetty(1). 2018-05-27 ansi2html(1)
