A revised version is at the same URL, http://namakajiri.net/code/ansicolors.7 (beware of caching). > It is also worth noting that blinking is commonly unimplemented Out of curiosity, I did a quick test in Linux: terminal bold italic underline blink,s blink,r negative ------------------------------------------------------------------------ console ok fgcolor fgcolor bgcolor none ok console+screen ok negative fgcolor bgcolor none ok urxvt ok ok ok ok slow ok urxvt+screen ok negative ok ok none ok xterm ok none ok ok none ok kterm ok none ok bold none ok gnome-terminal ok none ok none none ok xfce4-terminal ok none ok none none ok mlterm ok none ok none none ok Eterm ok none ok bgcolor+ none ok underline I changed the wording to reflect these results (and removed "blink, rapid" since it cannot possibly be considered a "common escape sequence"). The attributes table was getting too cumbersome and hard to fit in 80 columns, so I moved the information about implementation fallbacks to NOTES.
