- Should work on any platform including:
- Linux
- Windows 1511+
- macOS 10.4+
- OpenBSD 6.4+
### Windows notes
xd(1) currently requires [ENABLE_VIRTUAL_TERMINAL_PROCESSING](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/console/console-virtual-terminal-sequences), which was introduced on or near Windows build 10586.
This includes most versions of Windows 10 (1511+), or any version of Windows Server 2016 (1607+) or newer.
The accent colour, currently used to highlight question and record types, might be invisible in some conhost windows, but the root cause is not yet known (issue #4).
If affected, try `--color never` or consider switching to [Windows Terminal](https://github.com/microsoft/terminal).
