3.0.5

• Added xterm() method as alternate way of creating ANSI/Xterm colors (instead of using ansi() or onAnsi())
• Added export of src/chalk_x11.g.dart to package:chalkdart/chalkstrings.dart so that color extensions are available for chalk as well as the string extensions.

3.0.0

• add support for HTML output mode with new supporting methods for Chalk and Chalk string support The intention of this is to allow the use of Chalk for loggers which may be sending output to a server/database for viewing in a browser or other html capable viewer. The viewed HTML will appear as it does in the VSCode debug console.

New HTML Output Features:

• Output Mode Control:

  • Chalk.setDefaultOutputMode = ChalkOutputMode.html to set default mode to html for future constructed Chalk objects
  • chalk.setOutputMode = ChalkOutputMode.html to set the output mode on an existing Chalk object
  • Use [ChalkOutputMode.ansi] to change back to ANSI mode (default unless explicitly set to html)

• Color Scheme Support:

  • Chalk.defaultHtmlBasicANSIColorSet property for setting default color scheme
  • Chalk.setDefaultHtmlBasicANSIColorSet method for changing color scheme
  • Available schemes: [ChalkAnsiColorSet.lightBackground], [ChalkAnsiColorSet.darkBackground], [ChalkAnsiColorSet.highContrast]

• HTML Safety Methods:

  • chalk.stripHtmlTags() - Removes HTML tags from text
  • Chalk.htmlSafeSpaces() - Preserves spaces in HTML output
  • Chalk.htmlSafeGtLt() - Converts < and > to HTML entities
  • Chalk.htmlSafeEntities() - Converts all HTML special characters to entities

• Stylesheet Generation:

  • chalk.stylesheet() - Generates CSS styles for HTML output
  • chalk.inlineStylesheet() - Generates CSS wrapped in
