Hi,
I am working in a project in which someone else wrote a makefile with
a lot of fancy coloring. When I type :!make, the output is scrolled
through with a lot of escape sequence like "^]0;30;" for color,
making it completely unreadable. Can I have vim either (1) interpret
those escape sequence and make for colorful output, or (2) ignore and
don't print them?
I think you'll find AnsiEsc helpful -- the AnsiEsc plugin colorizes text
according to ansi escape sequences; you can get the plugin from:
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=302 (stable)
http://ftpmysite.verizon.net/astronaut/vim/index.html#ANSIESC
(cutting edge)
It also works even better with Vince Negri's conceal patch, which you
can get from
http://vince.negri.googlepages.com/
I've always wished that Vince's patch had been incorporated into vim,
but not thus far.
Anyway, with VN's patch, the Ansi escape sequences themselves are
concealed, so only the colorized effects appear (except for the line
where the cursor is). Without that patch, the Ansi escape sequences are
colorized with Ignore highlighting -- so they take up space but are less
intrusive.
