- Guillaume Piolat (17/17) Feb 25 New in console-colors v1.3.1:
`console-colors` is a reboot of the `colorize`[1] package, a library for colors in your terminal. **DUB:** https://code.dlang.org/packages/console-colors **GitHub:** https://github.com/p0nce/console-colors **Features:** - _in-band_ color information like `colorize`. - 16 colors, foreground and background. Caution not all colors are adequate on various terminals. - HTML-like tags for colors instead of VT-100 escape codes. Some chars must be escaped with entities: `>`; `<` and `&`, this is what the `escapeCCL(string s)` function does. ``` import consolecolors; cwriteln("<lblue>this is light blue</lblue>"); ``` - 32 UFCS short functions like `.red` and `.on_white`. - Colors are stacked, when you exit a color if will restore the former. - Separate exception type for exceptions with coloured messages: `CCLException`. Handy for nice compiler messages. - like the "colorize" package, coloured string must print through cwrite[f][ln] function. - globally disable console colors, with `disableConsoleColors()`.

New in console-colors v1.3.1: - Possibility to enable UTF-8 codepage in Windows terminal: call `enableConsoleUTF8()` at start-up. - Use VT100 escaped codes when supported in Windows (some Windows 10+and later). It's a bit faster. - Bold text with `<b>text</b>`, `<strong>text</strong>` or `.in_bold()` call (VT-100 only) - Italic text with `<em>text</em>`, `<i>text</i>` or `.in_italic()` call (VT-100 only) - Blinking text with `<blink>text</blink>` or `.in_blink()` call (VT-100 only) - Underlined text with `<u>text</u>` or `.in_underline()` call (VT-100 only) **DUB:** https://code.dlang.org/packages/console-colors You can see what you can do with `dub test console-colors`. Or alternatively running the `examples/simple` example from the repo.
