Convert escape sequences to html

esc2html

Convert escape sequences to html

Design goals and features:

• Convert a reasonable subset of ANSI standard and nonstandard escape sequences to html
• Optionally include Sixel graphics
• Filter out sequences that have no appropriate representation in html, e.g. cursor movement
• See test.ansi and test.sixel for a list of currently supported sequences
• This is not a terminal emulator

Installation

• Clone this repository
• Make sure that you have a C++20 capable compiler installed, then type

make
sudo make install

Usage

Input is read from stdin, output is written to stdout. Use the -h option for a list of available options.

Basic example:

cat test.ansi test.sixel | esc2html > test.html

Use the -s option to convert sixel graphics, requires imagemagick convert and base64:

cat test.ansi test.sixel | esc2html -s > test.html

Use the -t and -f options to set the document title and font:

esc2html -t title -f monospace < test.ansi > test.html
