This doesn't work in buffers that ;; have font-lock-mode! ;; ;; (insert (ansi-color-apply "\033[1mbold\033[0m and \033[34mblue\033[0m, \033[1m\033[34mbold and blue\033[0m!!")) ;; Usage with TinyMush.el: ;; In order to install this with TinyMush.el, add the following to your ;; .emacs file: ;; ;; (setq tinymud-filter-line-hook 'my-ansi-color-filter) ;; (autoload 'ansi-color-apply "ansi-color" ;; "Translates ANSI color control sequences into text-properties." t) ;; (defun my-ansi-color-filter (conn line) ;; "Call `ansi-color-apply' and then processes things like `filter-line'." ;; (setq line (ansi-color-apply line)) ;; (if (not (get-value conn 'trigger-disable)) ;; (progn ;; (check-triggers conn line ;; (get-value conn 'triggers)) ;; (check-triggers conn line ;; (get-value (get-value conn 'world) 'triggers)) ;; (check-triggers conn line ;; tinymud-global-triggers))) ;; (display-line conn line) ;; t) ;; Usage with shell-mode: ;; In order to enjoy the marvels of "ls --color=tty" you will have to ;; enter shell-mode using M-x shell, possibly disable font-lock-mode ;; using M-: (font-lock-mode 0), and add ansi-color-apply to ;; comint-preoutput-filter-functions using M-: (add-hook ;; 'comint-preoutput-filter-functions 'ansi-color-apply). ;;; Code: ;; Customization (defvar ansi-color-faces-vector [default bold default default underline bold default modeline] "Faces used for ANSI control sequences determining a face.
