Feat: enable dynamic processing of content

Implementing this as a DSL seems like a bit of overkill for a project the size of ansi2html. It does one thing and does it well. My guess is that the code to achieve this would be double or triple the size of ansi2html as it stands now.

My suggestion is that we modify ansi2html to accept a --extra-header=some_template.html and/or --extra-header=some_template.html. This way you could write a javascript stub that pulls in jquery and accomplishes exactly what you want, without having to reinvent jquery in python (all packaged inside a tiny tool like ansi2html).

This would be really useful and I would totally accept a patch for including custom headers and footers, but not for a DSL DOM-manipulation engine. :)

After evaluating how to add even --extra-header to ansi2html, I think I'm going to have to veto even that. You can accomplish what you want by using the pieces of ansi2html that already exist.

#!/bin/bash

# Boilerplate
echo "<html><head>" > my_report.html

# Style tags
ansi2html --headers >> my_report.html

# My customization.  Make the span tags dance!
echo '
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(document).ready(function(){$("span").hide("slow").show("slow");});
</script>
</head>
<body class="body_foreground body_background" style="font-size: normal;" >
<pre>' >> my_report.html

# The content
ls --color=always | ansi2html -p >> my_report.html

# Ending boilerplate
echo "</pre></body></html>" >> my_report.html

Great,
I think this is better than nothing and maybe I just missed something but I was already planning to do the work with jQuery.
I'm not very experienced with it but I think the current output is difficult to reuse because there is no tags to notify begin/end of lines (for instance, but most "invisible" characters can be considered helpful).
Is there an obvious way in the current version to know newlines and indentation/tabbing (the former can be guessed from text value if I/one can iterate over lines...) ?

Oh, I see what you mean. Off the bat, no I can't think of an obvious way to navigate the marked up code inside the

tag.

An "add line numbers to the beginning of every line" option for ansi2html might be useful for that. Or wrapping each line in it's own tag.

@fdev31, does that work for you?

Way toooo busy for now to work on the project involving that problematic but I think it will be fine. I'll report eventual bugs after some tests but don't expect that to happen very fast :(

Okay. The feature is in version 0.9.0. I'll close the ticket for now, but open a new one if you encounter problems.

Thanks!
