(1) Format
[Colorization]
Base format
${<target text>}(<fg>:<bg>)
-
<target text>is the text that will be colorized. -
<fg>is the name of the foreground color (c.f. color list), or an hex color (e.g.#00ffaa,#0fa). -
<bg>is the name of the background color with the same syntax as for the foreground.
Example
clifmt.Printf("normal text ${red text over black}(red:#000) normal text")
Note that it is not recommended to nest the different coloring formats.
Foreground only
${<target text>}(<fg>)
<target text>is the text that will be colorized.<fg>is the name of the foreground color.
Example
clifmt.Printf("normal text ${red text}(red) normal text")
Background only
${<target text>}(:<bg>)
<target text>is the text that will be colorized.<bg>is the name of the background color.
Example
clifmt.Printf("normal text ${text over red}(#ff0000) normal text")
[Markdown-like format]
