https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17396 Issue ID: 17396 Summary: Colorize error messages emitted by dmd Product: D Version: D2 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P1 Component: dmd Assignee: nobody puremagic.com Reporter: bugzilla digitalmars.com Some basic colorization has already been implemented as the solution to https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12273 But we can go further with that by taking inspiration from Ddoc. In verrorPrint(), the message string can be scanned for text enclosed by `...`. This text can then be syntax color highlighted analogously to the way Ddoc does it. This should nicely improve the look of error messages. --
