;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides a function that takes a string or a region
;; containing Select Graphic Rendition (SGR) control sequences (formerly
;; known as ANSI escape sequences) and tries to translate these into
;; faces.
;;
;; This allows you to run ls --color=yes in shell-mode.  In order to
;; test this, proceed as follows:
;;
;; 1. start a shell: M-x shell
;; 2. load this file: M-x load-library RET ansi-color RET
;; 3. activate ansi-color: M-x ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on
;; 4. test ls --color=yes in the *shell* buffer
;;
;; Note that starting your shell from within Emacs might set the TERM
;; environment variable.  The new setting might disable the output of
;; SGR control sequences.  Using ls --color=yes forces ls to produce
;; these.
;;
;; If you decide you like this, add the following to your .emacs file:
;;
;; (add-hook 'shell-mode-hook 'ansi-color-for-comint-mode-on)
;;
;; SGR control sequences are defined in section 3.8.117 of the ECMA-48
;; standard (identical to ISO/IEC 6429), which is freely available as a
;; PDF file <URL:http://www.ecma.ch/ecma1/STAND/ECMA-048.HTM>.  The
;; "Graphic Rendition Combination Mode (GRCM)" implemented is
;; "cumulative mode" as defined in section 7.2.8.  Cumulative mode means
;; that whenever possible, SGR control sequences are combined (ie. blue
;; and bold).

;; The basic functions are:
;;
;; `ansi-color-apply' to colorize a string containing SGR control
;; sequences.
;;
;; `ansi-color-filter-apply' to filter SGR control sequences from a
;; string.
;;
;; `ansi-color-apply-on-region' to colorize a region containing SGR
;; control sequences.
;;
;; `ansi-color-filter-region' to filter SGR control sequences from a
;; region.

As text-properties are implemented using extents in XEmacs, this
function is probably not needed.  In Emacs, however, things are a bit
different: When font-lock is active in a buffer, you cannot simply add
face text-properties to the buffer.  Font-lock will remove the face
text-property using `font-lock-unfontify-region-function'.  If you want
to insert the strings returned by `ansi-color-apply' into such buffers,
you must set `font-lock-unfontify-region-function' to
`ansi-color-unfontify-region'.  This function will not remove all face
text-properties unconditionally.  It will keep the face text-properties
if the property `ansi-color' is set.

The region from BEG to END is unfontified.  XEMACS-STUFF is ignored.
