COLORIT(1)																COLORIT(1)

NAME

       colorit - a script for markuping the text input

SYNOPSIS

       colorit [OPTIONS] [files...]

DESCRIPTION

       colorit	is  a script for markuping text input and sending a result to stdout.  Markuping rules are described in a configuration file which
       is filtered by preprocessor (the default is m4 ).  The define HOME equal to your home directory is set for the preprocessor using -D option
       supported  by  both  m4 and cpp.  This script can be used for colorizing the text by ANSI escape sequences, or making a simple text conver-
       sions and may be used for colorizing output of dict or other programs. In particular, log files, dict, cc, make, or diff output can  easily
       be colorized and viewed.

OPTIONS

       -V or --version
	      Shows version information.

       -h or --help
	      Shows help information.

       -c file or --config file
	      Specify configuration file.  The default is ~/.coloritrc or /etc/dictd/colorit.conf

       --pp preprocessor
	      Specify a preprocessor (- for none).

FILES

       ~/.coloritrc
	      User's colorit configuration file

       /etc/dictd/colorit.conf
	      System colorit configuration file

CONFIG FILE

       Empty  lines  or  lines	beginning with sharp sign (`#') are ignored. All other lines have this structure: command arg1 arg2 ... argN.  All
       commands are processed one-by-one for each input line.
       args strings can be surrounded by double-quote characters.
       Currently, only mark command is available having the following arguments: regexp pre_string post_string
       The pre_string and post_string are inserted at the beginning and the end of substring matched by regular expression regexp

BUGS

       The only supported escape sequence in the strings surrounded by double quotes is 33.
