Re: Convert Term::ANSIColor to HTML?

Read through the output looking for start of "markup" sequences (\e[)
Parse the color information up to the end of the sequence (digits through the next m)
Convert the color information to <span style="color: foo;"> markup
Spit out the matching closing </span> token when you hit the reset sequence (\e[0m)
Profit!

Season appropriately if sequences can be nested in your output (e.g. red text which has a span of reversed text characters in the middle).
