ansi2html

Convert text with ANSI color codes to HTML or to LaTeX.

Inspired by and developed off of the work of pixelbeat and blackjack.

Read the docs for more informations.

Example - Python API

from ansi2html import Ansi2HTMLConverter
conv = Ansi2HTMLConverter()
ansi = "".join(sys.stdin.readlines())
html = conv.convert(ansi)

Example - Shell Usage

$ ls --color=always | ansi2html > directories.html
$ sudo tail /var/log/messages | ccze -A | ansi2html > logs.html
$ task rc._forcecolor:yes limit:0 burndown | ansi2html > burndown.html

Running a command with colors

You can also have ansi2html run a command inside a pseudo‑terminal so it emits colored output, which is then converted to HTML:

$ ansi2html git log -p > git-log.html

• Everything after the first non-option token is treated as the command and its arguments.
• To avoid ambiguity with ansi2html options, you can separate with --:

$ ansi2html --inline -- git log -p > inline-git-log.html

For embeddable snippets, use --standalone (or -S) to wrap the converted output in a <code> element without the full HTML template:

$ echo $'\e[31mRED\e[0m' | ansi2html --standalone

See the list of full options with:

$ ansi2html --help

$ pip3 install ansi2html
