:Well most of that is in [[Bash/Prompt customization]], so you'd have to reorganize that article as well. -- [[User:Alad|Alad]] ([[User talk:Alad|talk]]) 15:20, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

::I'm not sure what to do about that reorganization. It all gets a bit messy because terminal color output is a mix of generally support ANSI escape codes, terminal specific features, shell specific features, and program (e.g. less) specific features. Arguably a lot of that stuff isn't even Arch-specific and doesn't really belong on the wiki, but I left it in [[Bash/Prompt customization]] because there doesn't seem to be a good resource that consolidates all of that information in a usable way. The "proper" way would be to pull that stuff (like escape code information) into a single article, but the result would be a completely general article that isn't even Linux-specific (let alone Arch-specific). That strikes me as wrong. [[User:Silverhammermba|Silverhammermba]] ([[User talk:Silverhammermba|talk]]) 16:04, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
