colorit - a script for markuping the text input

       The only supported escape sequence in the strings surrounded by double quotes is \033.

       Empty lines or lines beginning with sharp sign (`#') are ignored. All other lines  have  this  structure:
       commandarg1arg2...argN.  All commands are processed one-by-one for each input line.
       args strings can be surrounded by double-quote characters.
       Currently, only mark command is available having the following arguments: regexppre_stringpost_string
       The  pre_string and post_string are inserted at the beginning and the end of substring matched by regular
       expression regexp

colorit  is  a  script  for  markuping  text  input  and sending a result to stdout.  Markuping rules are
       described in a configuration file which is filtered by preprocessor (the default is  m4  ).   The  define
       HOME  equal  to  your home directory is set for the preprocessor using -D option supported by both m4 and
       cpp.  This script can be used for colorizing the text by ANSI escape sequences, or making a  simple  text
       conversions  and  may  be used for colorizing output of dict or other programs. In particular, log files,
       dict,cc,make, or diff output can easily be colorized and viewed.
