Can be connected to any stream resource that can be used with fopen()
Can generate colorized output on consoles that support it. There are a few
built in styles
- error Error messages.
- warning Warning messages.
- info Informational messages.
- comment Additional text.
- question Magenta text used for user prompts
By defining styles with addStyle() you can create custom console styles.
### Using styles in output
You can format console output using tags with the name of the style to apply. From inside a shell object
$this->out('Overwrite: foo.php was overwritten.');
This would create orange 'Overwrite:' text, while the rest of the text would remain the normal color.
See ConsoleOutput::styles() to learn more about defining your own styles. Nested styles are not supported
at this time.
