❯ About styling tags

Any text can be augmented with style, by enclosing the text with tags like this:

<fg=blue>Blue foreground text</fg=blue>

It is possible to imbricate the tags like this:

<fg=blue>Text with blue foreground, <bg=red>text with blue foreground and red background</bg=red>, text with blue foreground again</fg=blue>

If you want to, you can use the </> shorthand to close the last opened tag. The previous text thus becomes:

<fg=blue>Text with blue foreground, <bg=red>text with blue foreground and red background</>, text with blue foreground again</>

One can set multiple properties in a single tag, by separating them with ;:

<fg=blue;bg=red>text with blue fg and red bg</>

The available properties are the following:

• fg=color: sets the foreground color (value must be in the set below).
• bg=color: sets the background color (the value must be in the set below).
• href=http://link/to/resource: adds a hypertext link to the given location.
• options=opt1,opt2,opt3: Adds additionnal text decorations. Available options are bold, underscore, blink, reverse and conceal.

The available colors are the standard ANSI set:

• black
• red
• green
• yellow
• blue
• magenta
• cyan
• white
• default (use the terminal's default)
