Usage

Include the script in your header:

<script src="ace-xterm.wc.js" type="module"></script>

Use an <ace-xterm> HTML tag in your document. Text within the tag will become the code shown in the ace editor upon initialization.

<ace-xterm>
    import { ANSI } from 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/micro-chalk@1.1.1/src/ANSI.js';

    const log = new ANSI()
        .options( { post: (output) => { console.log(output); return output; } } );

    log`
    {black.White black text on White background.}
            {black.white black text on white background.}
    {Black.White Black text on White background.}
            {Black.white Black text on white background.}

        {Yellow Note use of white vs White, all base colors work this way.}
            {White Title case is bright} and {white lowercase is dim.}
                red -> Red, blue -> Blue, etc.
