Re: [Ranger-users] highlighting in the preview window

[Alan Warren]

Hey, thanks for the response. 

I wouldn't worry about it, since it sounds like it might be difficult. This isn't
very important. 

I'll check into the code myself. Perhaps some of the other formats available
for output would be more suitable, or easier to parse. 

Thanks again,
Alan

Hi Alan,

Ranger doesn't support 256 colors in combination wiht scope.sh.
The reason for that is it can't just display the output of scope.sh on
the screen directly.  It has to parse the color codes, but I found no
specification for 256-color codes... I guess i could search more and add
them some time
