Ansi Codeblock Styles

[sudojunior]

```ansi
{content}
```

It can be assumed that all characters included in a code block continue to contribute to the message length (despite not being visible to the user after sending). Styles can be compounded together as a possible avenue to 'save message credit' (in this sense I refer to a character as a cost to the message, similar to how API rate limits work - but for the payload itself).

• Escape code: \x1B
• Escape sequence: �[{code};{code};...m{content}�[0m

This can be quite hard to achieve in the user interface, but once you have the code on your clipboard - it should be fine provided you keep note of it somewhere. This has been created to expand the knowledge of existing styles available to the user, as indicated by Discord-Datamining/Discord-Datamining@852687a#commitcomment-63050923 which details slight differences between light and dark theme. Furthermore, this is not yet supported for mobile - which is to be added to the list as well.

Codes (Formatting)

Code	Description
0	reset
1	**bold**
4	__underline__

I have yet to find italic or spoiler codes, though I doubt they would be included at this time.

Interesting to find out that GitHub doesn't natively support underline on text (even with a <u>...</u> element node).

Codes (Foreground)

Code	Hex	Colour
31	#dc322f	Red
32	#859900	Green
33	#b58900	Yellow
34	#268bd2	Blue
35	#d33682	Magenta
36	#2aa198	Cyan

Codes (Theme Compliant)

Code	Dark Mode	Light Mode	Notes
30	#4f545c	#c7ccd1	Using --interactive-muted CSS variable
37	#ffffff	#060607	Using --interactive-active CSS variable

Codes (Background)

'described as {colour}' is sourced from ShareX's color picker.

Code	Hex	Colour
40	#002b36	Black (looks like a Midnight blue)
41	#cb4b16	Red (described as Chocolate)
42	#586e75	Green (described as Dim grey)
43	#657b83	Yellow (described as Slate grey)
44	#839496	Blue (described as Dark grey)
45	#6c71c4	Magenta (described as Slate blue, close to old Blurple #7289da)
46	#93a1a1	Cyan (described as Dark grey)
47	#fdf6e3	White (described as Old lace)

Methods of obtaining the \x1b character.

1. Inspect a message structure in a response payload or client DOM.

   Document query string: .hljs-ansi-control-sequence
   Change CSS rules to: display: inline; color: var(--background-accent); to have sequences show in the message payload.

2. Send string to file from PowerShell:

   "`e[31mtest`e[0m" > ansi.txt
   # `e is how powershell encodes the control sequence.
