ANSI to HTML - Color Text from Shell to HTML

#!/bin/sh

# Convert ANSI (terminal) colours and attributes to HTML

# Licence: LGPLv2
# Author:
#    http://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/terminal_colours/
# Examples:
#    ls -l --color=always | ansi2html.sh > ls.html
#    git show --color | ansi2html.sh > last_change.html
#    Generally one can use the `script` util to capture full terminal output.
# Changes:
#    V0.1, 24 Apr 2008, Initial release
#    V0.2, 01 Jan 2009, Phil Harnish <philharnish@gmail.com>
#                         Support `git diff --color` output by
#                         matching ANSI codes that specify only
#                         bold or background colour.
#                       P@draigBrady.com
#                         Support `ls --color` output by stripping
#                         redundant leading 0s from ANSI codes.
#                         Support `grep --color=always` by stripping
#                         unhandled ANSI codes (specifically ^[[K).
#    V0.3, 20 Mar 2009, http://eexpress.blog.ubuntu.org.cn/
#                         Remove cat -v usage which mangled non ascii input.
#                         Cleanup regular expressions used.
#                         Support other attributes like reverse, ...
#                       P@draigBrady.com
#                         Correctly nest <span> tags (even across lines).
#                         Add a command line option to use a dark background.
#                         Strip more terminal control codes.
#    V0.4, 17 Sep 2009, P@draigBrady.com
#                         Handle codes with combined attributes and color.
#                         Handle isolated <bold> attributes with css.
#                         Strip more terminal control codes.

# Convert alternative character set and handle cursor movement codes
# Note we convert here, as if we do at start we have to worry about avoiding
# conversion of SGR codes etc., whereas doing here we only have to
# avoid conversions of stuff between &...; or <...>
#
# Note we could use sed to do this based around:
#   sed 'y/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{}`~/▒␉␌␍␊°±␤␋┘┐┌└┼⎺⎻─⎼⎽├┤┴┬│≤≥π£◆·/'
# However that would be very awkward as we need to only conv some input.
# The basic scheme that we do in the awk script below is:
#  1. enable transliterate once "T1; is seen
#  2. disable once "T0; is seen (may be on diff line)
#  3. never transliterate between &; or <> chars
#  4. track x,y movements and active display mode at each position
#  5. buffer line/screen and dump when required
sed "
