history
Project history and usage
tml, short for Terminal Markup Language, is a Go module and standalone binary for writing colored and formatted terminal output with tag-like markup.
Project history
The project is intentionally small. Its official README presents tml as both a Go library and a CLI that reads tagged text and renders terminal color and attributes, making shell and Go output easier to read without manually writing escape sequences.
Adoption history
The supplied source facts show tml packaged in Homebrew and Nix, and as a Debian/Ubuntu Go development package. That adoption pattern reflects a dual identity: a command-line helper for shell users and a library dependency for Go packages.
How it is used
tml is used by piping text containing tags to the binary or by calling the Go package from an application. The README documents foreground colors, background colors, and attributes such as bold, dim, italic, underline, blink, reverse, hidden, and strikethrough.
Why package nerds care
tml is package-nerd useful because it offers a tiny, installable alternative to bespoke ANSI escape handling. It is especially relevant to developers building small CLIs who want readable terminal output code.
