Awesome

aha - Ansi HTML Adapter

Converts ANSI escape sequences of a unix terminal to HTML code.

Examples

• aha --help | aha --black --title "the awesome aha help"> aha-help.htm
  • Creates an HTML file of the help of aha with black background
• colordiff oldfile.c newfile.c | aha > colordiff.htm
  • Creates an HTML file with a colorful diff-output of two files "oldfile.c" and "newfile.c" with white background
• ls --color=always | aha --pink > ls.htm
• Creates an HTML file with a colorful ls-output with pink background.
• echo q | htop | aha --black --line-fix > htop.htm
  • Creates an HTML file with the output of htop. You have to use --line-fix due the other new-line-commands htop uses.
• MAN_KEEP_FORMATTING=1 COLUMNS=80 man aha | ul | aha > man-aha.htm
  • Creates an HTML file with the man page of aha. Man uses nroff's bold and underline, which ul converts to SGR.
