Espruino Web IDE - terminal window - coloured text in concole.log string

Hi,
Is there an existing way to colour text being displayed in the Web IDE Terminal window.
Specifically for colouring the text from the execution of console.log('string') in espruino.

It seems a common method would be to prefix the string with an ANSI escape sequence such as
Red: \u001b[31m. or green
Green: \u001b[32m
This works in node in vscode.

Ive tried this in Espruino WebIDE

console.log (" \u001b[31m HelloWorld ");

and it looks like the the escape sequence is being trapped , because not all of it is printed.

Ive had a poke around the WebIDE code on github but I cant find the code that handles the terminal window. I can see that there is colour styling of the code editor window.

My use case is im having a quick look at the feasability of a simple jest style unit testing tool and would like to colour the output to the console. Which looks good so far. (colour is a bit of a nice to have I would agree)

Any cluse on an approach to implement the coloured output text appreciated. And a high level of how the terminal window is driven ??. Is there is some escape sequence to HTML going on somehwere ??

Thanks in advance, Simon

cant find the code that handles the terminal window

it is in EspruinoTools submodule
https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoTools/blob/master/core/terminal.js

Don't see anything about color and also any html printed by js code is escaped. Special case are inline images produced by g.dump() - handled here https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoTools/blob/master/core/terminal.js#L438

escape codes handled here https://github.com/espruino/EspruinoTools/blob/master/core/terminal.js#L521

Thanks @fanoush , that's a great start.

Exactly as @fanoush says - I'd handle it in terminal.js. Handling color in ANSI escape sequences would be great!

Ok, Ill have a go. Thanks
