About:
Aha converts terminal command output, including ANSI color codes and formatting, into clean, standards-compliant HTML. It effectively translates the visual styling of a terminal session into a web-friendly format without requiring complex parsing scripts. This allows developers to easily share terminal logs, command outputs, or build logs on websites or in documentation.

Key Features:

Parses standard ANSI escape sequences for color and text styling
Outputs lightweight, valid HTML5 without heavy dependencies
Provides options for dark or light color schemes
Can filter out specific ANSI codes or handle non-standard inputs

Use Cases:

Embedding formatted build logs or terminal output in CI/CD dashboards
Creating shareable, readable documentation for command-line tools
Archiving terminal sessions as web pages

Alternatives:

ansi2html – A similar Python-based tool, often used in web applications like GitLab for rendering logs.
script – A standard Unix utility that records a terminal session, but outputs a typescript file rather than HTML.
