Color output instead of syntax highlighting about cheat

[dufferzafar]

@gotbletu Have a look at this: https://github.com/dufferzafar/cheat

It's a go fork of cheat, that I created specifically for the colored output.

Hi,

I use vimcat

function __cheat() {                
if [ $# == 1 ]; then                
    cheat $1 | vimcat -c 'set ft=sh'
else                                
    cheat $@                        
fi                                  
}                                   
alias cheat=__cheat

@liambeguin Thanks ill give that a try

@liambeguin
Thanks for this! im having issue with the function: __cheat:1: = not found, any idea?

[liambeguin]

Hi,
is the __cheat() function in your bashrc ?

im using zsh but yes, i made it work with just the cheat $1 | vimcat -c 'set ft=sh', but instead of ansi colors i get codes :P

[liambeguin]

hum... I'm not very familiar with zsh but I remember having issues with the colors.
is your TERM variable correctly set ?

yeah, i think ill move to xterm, i've been having issues with colors. thanks man, dont want to waste more of your time. cheers

Generally speaking, I think the syntax highlighting would work fine for nearly all cheatsheets provided that we defaulted to using a sh syntax highlighter. I don't recall what we're doing off the top of my head (I haven't dug into this codebase in a while), but perhaps that would be an easy change.

I'll try to take a look at that this week - unless somebody wants to beat me to the punch with a PR ;)

Color seem OK on my system, so I'm going to assume that @sogseal's local configuration may have been a contributing factor. @sogseal (or anyone else) - if you continue to have trouble on your new terminal, feel free to re-open this ticket. Thanks!
