class pygments.formatters.terminal256.Terminal256Formatter(**options)

Format tokens with ANSI color sequences, for output in a 256-color terminal or console. Like in TerminalFormatter color sequences are terminated at newlines, so that paging the output works correctly.

The formatter takes colors from a style defined by the style option and converts them to nearest ANSI 256-color escape sequences. Bold and underline attributes from the style are preserved (and displayed).

New in Pygments 0.9.

Options accepted:

style

The style to use, can be a string or a Style subclass (default: 'default').
