I don't usually take the time to rate stuff, but this extension has helped out quite a bit! Shoutout to the developer! |

I use this for (IMO) one of the scourges of the internet, log files that use ANSI control sequences to just change the color of text output. And for that, this is one of the few consistent plugins that's reasonably well-maintaned. It's a bit hokey to set up for the purposes that I want, as the plugin assumes a 80-character width which isn't true for log files, but that's reasonably easy to work through with the myriad of options available (I pick Fonts - Monospace (default), Display - Windows (color pair), ANSI - uncheck ANSI 80 column wrap, ANSI - IBM VGA (color palette), ANSI - Use iCE colors (checked) to show reasonably well). |

Draws perhaps half of the ansis I view correctly. Lots of "unknown control" and "unknown function" errors. |
