I have a complete implementation of it ready together with a pure-st readline lib ;) So when the time is ready I will integrate it :P On 2012-03-06, at 13:59, Igor Stasenko wrote:

actually its a bit of a hack :D (well the implementation not)
but the problem is, that we should properly detect if the terminal supports colors or not ;) otherwise you might get some ugly escape sequences :D
Do you know the tput tool?
I use it in my makefiles like this: START_BOLD=$(shell tput bold) STOP_BOLD=$(shell tput sgr0)
It gives you the supported escape sequence for a give style based on a database of terminals and your current environment.
yeah, but that means that VM (or some plugin/prim) is needed to detect that it outputs to terminal, and not redirected to file or pipes output to another process.
