NAME
ansi2html - ansi to HTML converter
SYNOPSIS
ansi2html [-n] [-w] <log >outfile
DESCRIPTION
ansi2html will convert the ANSI log into an HTML page, converting ANSI color codes into
appropriate tags. All standard 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 responsible for setting background color appropri‐
ately — 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 invisible (just like
explicit black is invisible in the normal on-black mode), same as on real termi‐
nals.
-t, --title text
Set the page title to the next argument. Mutually exclusive with -n.
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.
