Lunacolors is an ANSI color/styling library for Lua. It is included by default in standard Hilbish distributions to provide easy styling for things like prompts and text.
For simple usage, a single color or style is enough. For example,
you can just use lunacolors.blue 'Hello world' and that'll return
blue text which you can print. This includes styles like bold,
underline, etc.
In other usage, you may want to use a format string instead of having multiple nested functions for different styles. This is where the format function comes in. You can used named keywords to style a section of text.
The list of arguments are:
Colors:
- black
- red
- green
- yellow
- blue
- magenta
- cyan
- white
Styles:
- reset
- bold
- dim
- italic
- underline
- invert
For the colors, there are background and bright variants. Background color
variants have a Bg suffix, while bright variants use the bright prefix.
These can also be combined. Note that appropriate camel casing must be applied.
For example, bright blue would be written as brightBlue, a cyan background as
cyanBg, and combining them would result in brightBlueBg.
