no color in piping with heredoc about litecli HOT 2 CLOSED

My understanding is heredoc is a feature of your shell, when you are writing heredoc, litecli has not been triggered yet, so you can not get color.

Also adding '\T ...' in the here-doc doesn't seem to affect output formatting neither.

\T works on my side. Could you provide a way to reproduce the issue on your side?

$ litecli ex1.db << EOF
\T html;
select * from tbl1
EOF
<table>
<thead>
<tr><th>one</th><th>two</th></tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr><td>t1</td><td>11</td></tr>
<tr><td>t2</td><td>22</td></tr>
</tbody>
</table>

@zzl0 I compared against your code and found out that was my mistake was not appending ';' after '\T' and counting on a new-line in the here-doc alone to serve as an actual Return...

I also seem to be getting color now unless I pipe it, in that case even less -R won't show it or signs of it. So I will be closing this off for now. Thanks
