# IO.ANSI.Plus

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/RaymondLoranger/io_ansi_plus.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/RaymondLoranger/io_ansi_plus)

Functionality to render ANSI escape sequences.
Clone of `io.ansi` enhanced to support Xterm colors.

## Installation

Add the `:io_ansi_plus` dependency to your `mix.exs` file:

```elixir
def deps do
  [
    {:io_ansi_plus, "~> 0.1"}
  ]
end
```

## Notes

In addition to the 16 regular ANSI colors and their background counterparts,
this package also supports the 256 Xterm colors (foreground and background).

Most of these 256 colors were given names like:
- ![#00ffff](https://placehold.it/15/00ffff/000000?text=+)`:aqua`
- ![#87ff00](https://placehold.it/15/87ff00/000000?text=+)`:chartreuse`
- ![#d700ff](https://placehold.it/15/d700ff/000000?text=+)`:psychedelic_purple`

For details, see file `config/persist_colors.exs`.
