This Rust project called ansi-escape-sequences-cli provides an executable called ansi
which can be used on the Terminal to easily colorize/style your output.
$ cargo install ansi-escape-sequences-cli (the binary is just called ansi!)
$ echo "$(ansi bg-purple)Hello World $(ansi reset)$(ansi red)$(ansi bold)$(ansi underline)Red Warning$(ansi reset)"
test.sh ```bash
reset=$(ansi -e reset) red=$(ansi -e red) echo "Foo=${red}bar" echo "Bar=${reset}foo" ```
In res/zsh-completion/_ansi is a completion file. Install it for example into
/usr/local/share/zsh/site-functions/.

ESCAPE STYLES
bash: Bash (and many other tools) support \e that gets replaced by ASCIIs ESC code.
hex: Many tools allow hex values in the following notation: \x1b, i.e. ASCIIs ESC code.
unicode : Many tools allow unicode values in the following notation: \u001b, i.e. ASCIIs ESC code.
unicode-rust: Rust uses unicode in the following form: \u{1b}, i.e. ASCIIs ESC code.
