I want to write notes (in HTML format) when learning Linux. When I need to note colorful terminal text output, I want the color of terminal text can be remained in my notes, e.g.:
Note 1: Test
The output of xx command is
<pre>
[root@webserver ~]# ll /
total 100
drwxrwxrwt. 7 root root 4096 8月 24 12:22 <span style='background-color:green; color:blue;'>tmp</span>
drwxr-xr-x. 14 root root 4096 7月 19 21:20 <span style='color:blue;'>usr</span>
</pre>
I can manually add HTML code wrapper around the plain text, but I hope there's an automatic way to achieve that.
Currently, I'm using putty on Windows to connect to remote CentOS linux server.

Use the script utility to capture the terminal output to a file (ansi color control characters included) and then convert it to html with ansi2html script. Eg:
If using PuTTY, "All session output" login option will also keep the ansi color codes.
As an alternative to ansi2html, you could use aha - Ansi HTML Adapter.
