;;; 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.

;; In order to install this with TinyMush.el, add the following to your
;; .emacs file:
;;
;; (setq tinymud-filter-line-hook 'my-tinymud-add-ansi-text-properties)
;; (autoload 'ansi-color-to-text-properties "ansi-color" 
;;   "Translates ANSI color control sequences into text-properties." t)
;; (defun my-tinymud-add-ansi-text-properties (conn line)
;;   "Call `ansi-color-to-text-properties' for LINE.
;; Ignores CONN and returns nil, so that `tinymud-filter-line' continues to
;; process triggers and everything else."
;;   (ansi-color-to-text-properties line)
;;   nil)

;; If the ANSI sequences assume that you have a black background, you'll
;; have to display the stuff in a frame with a black background.  You
;; can create such a frame like this (it still looks ugly!):
;;
;; (defun my-black-frame ()
;;   "Create a frame with black background."
;;   (interactive)
;;   (make-frame '((foreground-color . "white")
;; 		(background-color . "black"))))

;;; 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!
;;
;; (progn
;;   (setq line "bold and blue, bold and blue!!")
;;   (ansi-color-to-text-properties line)
;;   (insert line))

;;; Bugs:

;; Only supports the ANSI sequences that the MUSH I'm on uses (the MUSH
;; is Elendor, see http://www.elendor.net).  To see the list of codes
;; supported I did a `help ansi()'.  Based on this information, I used
;; TinyTalk.el (without ANSI color support), gave myself the ANSI color
;; flags using `@set me=ANSI' and `@set me=COLOR', and noted the ANSI
;; escape sequences produced by the MUSH using `think ansi(r,red)' for
;; example.
;;
;; The code is spaghetti-code, I hate it.



;;; Code:

(defvar ansi-color-faces-vector
  [default bold  default default underline bold  default modeline]
  "Faces used for ANSI control sequences determining a face.

Those are sequences like this one: , where 1 could be one of the
following numbers: 0 (default), 1 (hilight, rendered as bold), 4
(underline), 5 (flashing, rendered as bold), 7 (inverse, rendered the
same as the modeline)")

(defvar ansi-color-names-vector
  ["black" "red" "green" "yellow" "blue" "magenta" "cyan" "white"]
  "Array of colors.

Used for sequences like this one: , where 1 could be an index to a
foreground color (red, in this case), or , 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")
