Colored output about script-commands HOT 11 CLOSED

Support for colored output has been finally added in 1.8.0. Closing the issue.

Good one! We'll look into supporting a subset of colors.

@BoyangMichael we currently support only limited subset of terminal codes. For now those are only 8 basic colours for foreground and background in linux format. We will extend supported range of terminal codes in future.

It seems you are usingxterm style - you can switch to linux format adding export TERM=linux on top of your script.
That will allow you to play around with foreground, background colours and fix the problem with reset [0m escape code.

Just to clarify: Markdown output is not supported either (and will unlikely to be supported).
Colored output and link parsing is on our list of improvements.

Otherwise, MD output is supported

@grzegorzkrukowski Thanks a lot for the answer! It is very helpful! The problem is solved after switching from xterm to linux.

How does this work?

It may be out of essence. At present, some scripts command written by myself are expected to have some formats or colors on the output, the links can be opened by clicking, and some generated code fragments can be formatted and so on. (Well, this paragraph is translated by machine. I hope I can express my thoughts)

Nice to have the colored output feature! However, there's still some issues that it does not distinguish between normal and dim. And the escape sequence generated by tput sgr0 does not seems to be interpreted correctly.

echo "Hello!"; echo "$(tput setaf 8)Hello!$(tput sgr0)"; echo "$(tput setaf 1)Hello!$(tput sgr0)";

Thanks for reporting @BoyangMichael, we'll take a look into it

Updated Readme should now clarify the limitations of current implementation:
