AnsiEsc can not show background

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

The following code shows that vim can not show background color correctly form Ansi Color. Is there a command to enable background color? Thanks.

~/linux/test/python/man/library/termcolor/colored/on_red$ cat main.py
#!/usr/bin/env python

from termcolor import colored
print colored('hello', 'white', 'on_red'), colored('world', 'white', 'on_green')

~/linux/test/python/man/library/termcolor/colored/on_red$ type less
less is aliased to `vim -R -c AnsiEsc -'
~/linux/test/python/man/library/termcolor/colored/on_red$ ./main.py |less

Regards,
Peng

I get...
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./junk.pm", line 3, in <module>
from termcolor import colored
ImportError: No module named termcolor

You need to install termcolor (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/termcolor)
first by pip or something else.

Why not capture the ansi escape sequence involved and tell me what it
is? If its not an ansi escape sequence, then that likely is beyond the
purview of AnsiEsc.

Here is the output of the python script.
[31mhello [0m [32mworld [0m

Interpreting this manually:
<chg to red fgd>hello <reset to normal terminal colorization><chg to
green fgd>world <reset to normal terminal colorization>

When I placed that into a file, inserted the missing escape characters,
and applied AnsiEsc to the file, I got a red "hello", a space, and a
green "world" as I'd expect. The background is not specified in these
ansi-escape sequences, and so AnsiEsc would be wrong if it did change
the background.

I'm sorry. The previous output is wrong. Here is the correct output.

^[[41m^[[37mhello^[[0m ^[[42m^[[37mworld^[[0m

You can also try my Colorizer plugin
(https://github.com/chrisbra/Color_highlight)
That should be able to handle it.

Best,
Christian

Hello, Peng:

Sorry it took so long -- but I think I have AnsiEsc able to handle the
above.

I've attached a copy.

I got the following error. Do you know what is wrong?

I am able to duplicate the message "Cannot close last window", so I'll
look into it. Nonetheless, the AnsiEsc extraction was successful and
helptags generated.
