Subject: [PATCH 1/7] docs: describe ANSI 256-color mode
Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2014 10:15:31 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20141120151531.GA23680@peff.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20141120151418.GA23607@peff.net>
Our color specifications have supported the 256-color ANSI
extension for years, but we never documented it.
Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net>

the answer is "everything" by now, but I have seen some pretty awful
terminal emulators in my time.

+Colors (foreground and background) may also be given as numbers between
+0 and 255; these use ANSI 256-color mode (but note that not all
+terminals may support this).

Whether to use ANSI escape sequences to add color to patches.
