How to convert Linux's shell output to HTML?
Without any pretty-printing, the simplest thing you can always do is to escape everything that needs escaping, and wrap a basic HTML shell around (the following should be valid minimal HTML5). For example, get a hold of fastesc: http://raa.ruby-lang.org/project/fastesc/, and that wrap it into an HTML shell.
If you want to preserve the ANSI magic, then you need to convert that to HTML, perhaps with http://ansi-sys.rubyforge.org/
And then do something like this, depending on your needs:
require 'ansisys'def ansi_escape(string) terminal = AnsiSys::Terminal.new terminal.echo(string) terminal.render enddef to_html(string) %Q{ <!DOCTYPE html> <title>Converted to html</title> <pre> #{ansi_escape(string)} </pre> } end
