[PATCH 3/3] color: add support for 12-bit RGB colors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



RGB color parsing currently supports 24-bit values in the form #RRGGBB.

As in Cascading Style Sheets (CSS [1]), also allow to specify an RGB color
using only three digits with #RGB.

In this shortened form, each of the digits is – again, as in CSS –
duplicated to convert the color to 24 bits, e.g. #f1b specifies the same
color as #ff11bb.

In color.h, remove the '0x' prefix in the example to match the actual
syntax.

 Colors may also be given as numbers between 0 and 255; these use ANSI

 your terminal supports it, you may also specify 24-bit RGB values as

 The accepted attributes are `bold`, `dim`, `ul`, `blink`, `reverse`,
 `italic`, and `strike` (for crossed-out or "strikethrough" letters).
