Coded chars

This crate implements the ECMA-48 standard for coded characters in rust.

Various constructions are provided to easily add control character and sequences inside text. This crate is compatible with "ANSI terminals".

This crate does not use a concept of "styles" or any kind of abstraction other than ones defined in the standard.

Standard implemented

• ecma-48 - Control Functions for Coded Character Sets

An example

use coded_chars::control::clear_screen;
use coded_chars::control::cursor::set_position;
use coded_chars::control::rendition::{format_str, select_graphic};

// Direct format
println!("Hello {}World{} !", select_graphic().fg_red().bold().underline(), select_graphic().default());

// Clear screen
clear_screen();

// Using format_str
let formatted = format_str(
    "World",
    select_graphic().fg_red().bold().underline()
);
println!("Hello {} !", formatted);

set_position(5, 1).exec();
println!("This line is printed on the fifth line.");

The API shall not change but a lot is yet to add.
