chalkdart

Corresponds to pub.dev/packages/chalkdart version 3.0.5

• Remove error from README about makeRGBChalk()

• Remove html_character_entities dependency and add that code locally

• Fix minor error of old ChalkWhitespaceStyle instead of ChalkWhitespaceTreatment
• Added note about being about to use any valid white-space CSS value for [whiteSpaceTreatment]

• add support for HTML output mode with new supporting methods for Chalk and Chalk string support The intention of this is to allow the use of Chalk for loggers which may be sending output to a server/database for viewing in a browser or other html capable viewer. The viewed HTML will appear as it does in the VSCode debug console.

New HTML Output Features:

• Output Mode Control:

  • Chalk.setDefaultOutputMode = ChalkOutputMode.html to set default mode to html for future constructed Chalk objects
  • chalk.setOutputMode = ChalkOutputMode.html to set the output mode on an existing Chalk object
  • Use [ChalkOutputMode.ansi] to change back to ANSI mode (default unless explicitly set to html)

• Color Scheme Support:

  • Chalk.defaultHtmlBasicANSIColorSet property for setting default color scheme
  • Chalk.setDefaultHtmlBasicANSIColorSet method for changing color scheme
  • Available schemes: [ChalkAnsiColorSet.lightBackground], [ChalkAnsiColorSet.darkBackground], [ChalkAnsiColorSet.highContrast]

• HTML Safety Methods:

  • chalk.stripHtmlTags() - Removes HTML tags from text
  • Chalk.htmlSafeSpaces() - Preserves spaces in HTML output
  • Chalk.htmlSafeGtLt() - Converts < and > to HTML entities
  • Chalk.htmlSafeEntities() - Converts all HTML special characters to entities

• Stylesheet Generation:

  • chalk.stylesheet() - Generates CSS styles for HTML output
  • chalk.inlineStylesheet() - Generates CSS wrapped in <style> tags
  • Customizable options for:
    • Color schemes
    • Whitespace treatment
    • Custom colors
    • Font families (10 customizable slots)

• String Extension Methods:

  • Added stripHtmlTags for removing HTML tags
  • Added htmlSafeGtLt for safe HTML character conversion
  • Added htmlSafeSpaces for space preservation
  • Added htmlSafeEntities for entity conversion
  • Extended strip to handle HTML tags when in HTML mode

• Example Command Line Options:

  • Added HTML output examples:

    dart run chalkdart_example.dart --html --light >testlightmode.html
    dart run chalkdart_example.dart --html --highcontrast >testhighcontrastmode.html
    dart run chalkdart_example.dart --html --dark >testdarkmode.html
