;;; Commentary:

;; You can get the latest version of this file from my homepage
;; <URL:http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare/6120/emacs.html>.
;;
;; This file provides a function that takes a string containing ANSI
;; control sequences and tries to replace these with text-properties.
;;
;; I was unable to extract this functionality from term.el for another
;; program I wanted to extend (the MUSH client TinyTalk.el), so I had to
;; rewrite this.

;;; Testing:

;; If you want to test the setup, evaluate the following fragment in a
;; buffer without font-lock-mode.  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).

  "Faces used for ANSI control sequences determining a face.

Those are sequences like this one: \033[1m, where 1 could be one of the
following numbers: 0 (default), 1 (hilight, rendered as bold), 4

Used for sequences like this one: \033[31m, where 1 could be an index to a
foreground color (red, in this case), or \033[41m, where 1 could be an
index to a background color.

The default colors are: black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta,
cyan, and white.

On a light background, I prefer: black, red, dark green, orange, blue,
magenta, turquoise, snow4")
