Re: How to interpret ansi escape code like "\033[; 1; 31mHello World\033[0m"?

[Bryan Christ]

Nelson,

"Mutt's code is in pager.c, the grok_ansi() function, and only parses a
subset"

I should have mentioned in my previous email, the other part of the
strategy in creating your own interpreter is to also create your own
terminfo entry.  This will allow you to restrict the kinds of escape
sequences which get transmitted to your input reader.
