^[(B Not supported about ansi-to-html

[rburns]

yes, a no-op sounds right.

BTW I was looking at coding my own and I was able to establish the following rules, which may help with a general case:

      // At this point we have already detected an escape char
      if (escapeTxt === '[') {
          // process until character
         do {
            character = text.charAt(++i)
            escapeTxt += character;
         } while(!isLetter(character) && i< text.length);
      } else if (escapeTxt === '#') {
         // process until digit
         do {
            character = text.charAt(++i)
            escapeTxt += character;
         } while(!isDigit(character) && i < text.length);
      }  else if (escapeTxt === '(' || escapeTxt === ')') {
         // process another char
         escapeTxt += text.charAt(++i);
      } else {
         // that's the escape
      }

Feel free to leverage what you find useful.

I'd guess we can add a token to be removed here: https://github.com/rburns/ansi-to-html/blob/master/src/ansi_to_html.js#L342. I'll write a test to see if that works, a bit later.

If it was to be supported, rather than a no-op. What does the functionality look like?

Trying to understand myself. Based on the following document it would seem to be USACII:

https://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/various/alternate_charset/

Probably used to ensure that we are using printed characters, rather than line characters?

this appears to work: #40 Is there a category of similar codes which should be ignored, or is that one enough?

[ajmas]

Nothing immediate that was impacting me - thanks
