colortext

Generates gradient text for html pages using <font> tags for each letter with the color attribute set which is probably not a good idea but i just made it for fun. Works with UTF-8.

The source code passed through the program with colors ff0000, 0000ff, 00ff00 and ff0088:

compile

This should be enough:

gcc program.c -o colortext

run

Provide hex colors as arguments to the program and pipe some text into it or just write it and press Ctrl+D when finished. Examples:

echo "the text" | colortext ff0000 00ff00 0000ff

cat afilewithtext | colortext ff0000 555500

things to note

• You can specify as many colors as you want.
• Text cap is 32768 bytes or something like that.
• Newline characters are removed from the end of your string so the last visible character is the last color you specified
• I think it doesn't work if the colors are prefixed with anyting.
