<p dir="auto">I am looking at building an extension that prints a lot of information from errors, debug &amp; warnings so it would be nice to stylise the messages from the realtime logs of a website to help with debugging.</p>
<p dir="auto">So can I make a feature request please to enable colorised text in Output Channel</p>

<p dir="auto">I might have seen a post regarding styling of the <code class="notranslate">OutputChannel</code>, but not sure though.</p>
<p dir="auto">I think it would be a nice feature to support ANSI colors. This way libraries like <a href="https://github.com/chalk">chalk</a> can be used to style the output. Another benefit is that if you develop a plugin like Yeoman, who outputs to the console, the output can be directly passed to the <code class="notranslate">OutputChannel</code>.</p>
<p dir="auto">Not sure if this is possible, but I think it would be a nice feature. No need to implement our own styling stuff in the channel, just use libraries that already exist.</p>
