Term::ANSIColor::Markup - Colorize tagged strings for screen output

  use Term::ANSIColor::Markup;

  my $text = qq{aaa<red>bbb<bold>ccc</bold>ddd<black><on_yellow>eee</on_yellow></black>fff</red> &gt; ggg};

  my $parser = Term::ANSIColor::Markup->new;
  $parser->parse($text);
  print $parser->text;

  # or just call colorize method this way:

  print Term::ANSIColor::Markup->colorize($text);

Term::ANSIColor::Markup provides a simple and friendly way to colorize screen output; You can do it using HTML-like tags.

You can use the same names for tag names as ones Term::ANSIColor provides. See the documentation of Term::ANSIColor to get to know what names you can use.

  my $parser = Term::ANSIColor::Markup->new;

Creates and returns a new Term::ANSIColor::Markup object.

  $parser->parse($text);

Parses given $text. If start tag and end tag aren't correspondent with each other, this method croaks immediately.

Note that "<" and ">" which are not part of tags must be escaped into "&lt;" and "&gt;".

  print $parser->text;

Returns parsed text.

  print Term::ANSIColor::Markup->colorize($text);

Returns parsed text in just one way.
