!!##NAME
!!    M_attr(3f) - [M_attr::INTRO] control text attributes on terminals
!!    (LICENSE:MIT)
!!
!!##SYNOPSIS
!!
!!
!!      use M_attr, only : attr, attr_mode, attr_update
!!
!!      use M_attr, only : alert ! generate standard messages
!!
!!##DESCRIPTION
!!    M_attr(3f) is a Fortran module that uses common ANSI escape sequences
!!    to control terminal text attributes.
!!
!!         use M_attr
!!         write(*,*)attr('<red>Red Text!</red> <green>Green Text!</green>')
!!         end
!!
!!    It is designed to use three simple procedures to
!!
!!     + Specify attributes using simple HTML-like syntax
!!     + allow the sequences to be suppressed when desired
!!     + permit the  user program to completely customize the keywords.
!!       The user can add, delete and replace the sequences associated with
!!       a keyword without changing the code.
!!
!!    One advantage of the approach of using formatting directives which
!!    are replaced with in-band escape sequences is that it is easy to turn
!!    off when running batch.
!!
!!    Another important capability is that programs can be run in "raw" mode
!!    and create a simple text file with the formatting directives in it
!!    that can then be read back in by a simple filter program that strips
!!    it back to plain text( see app/plain.f90), or displays it to a screen
!!    in color(see app/light.f90) or perhaps converts it to another format.
!!
!!    So this approach makes it trivial to read specially-formatted data
!!    from a file like a message catalog (perhaps with various versions in
!!    different languages) and colorize it or display it as plain text
!!
!!    By making each line self-contained (by default) lines can be filtered
!!    by external utilities and still display correctly.
!!
!!##ACCESS
!!    Via git(1):
!!
!!        git clone https://github.com/urbanjost/M_attr.git
!!        cd M_attr/src
!!        # change Makefile if not using one of the listed compilers
!!        make clean; make gfortran    # for gfortran
!!        make clean; make ifort       # for ifort
!!        make clean; make nvfortran   # for nvfortran
!!
!!    This will compile the M_attr module and example programs.
!!
!!    Alternatively, via fpm (see https://github.com/fortran-lang/fpm):
!!
!!         git clone https://github.com/urbanjost/M_attr.git
!!
!!    or just list it as a dependency in your fpm.toml project file.
!!
!!         [dependencies]
!!         M_attr = { git = "https://github.com/urbanjost/M_attr.git" }
!!
!!##LIMITATIONS
!!   o colors are not nestable.
!!   o keywords are case-sensitive,
!!   o ANSI escape sequences are not universally supported by
!!     all terminal emulators; and normally should be suppressed
!!     when not going to a tty device. Therefore, you should use
!!     M_system::system_istty(3f) or the common Fortran extension
!!     ISATTY() to set the default to "plain" instead of "color"
!!     when the output file is not a conforming terminal. On basic
!!     MSWindows console windows, it is best to use Windows 10+ and/or
!!     the Linux mode; you may have to enable ANSI escape sequence
!!     mode on MSWindows. It does work as-is with CygWin and MinGW and
!!     Putty windows and mintty(1) as tested.
!!
!!##EXAMPLE

!!##NAME
!!    attr(3f) - [M_attr] substitute escape sequences for HTML-like syntax
!!               in strings
!!    (LICENSE:MIT)
!!
!!##SYNOPSIS
!!
!!      function attr(string,reset) result (expanded)
!!
!!        ! scalar
!!        character(len=*),intent(in)  :: string
!!        logical,intent(in),optional  :: reset
!!        character(len=:),allocatable :: expanded
!!        ! or array
!!        character(len=*),intent(in)  :: string(:)
!!        logical,intent(in),optional  :: reset
!!        character(len=:),allocatable :: expanded(:)
!!        integer,intent(in),optional  :: chars
!!
!!##DESCRIPTION
!!    Use HTML-like syntax to add attributes to terminal output such as
!!    color on devices that recognize ANSI escape sequences.
!!
!!##OPTIONS
!!    string        input string  of form
!!
!!                    "<attribute_name>string</attribute_name> ...".
!!
!!                   where the current attributes are color names,
!!                   bold, italic, underline, ...
!!
!!    reset          By default, a sequence to clear all text attributes
!!                   is sent at the end of each returned line if an escape
!!                   character appears in the output string. This can be
!!                   turned off by setting RESET to .false. .
!!
!!                   Note if turning off the reset attributes may be
!!                   continued across lines, but if each line is not
!!                   self-contained attributes may not display properly
!!                   when filtered with commands such as grep(1).
!!
!!    chars          For arrays, a reset will be placed after the Nth
!!                   displayable column count in order to make it easier
!!                   to generate consistent right borders for non-default
!!                   background colors for a text block.
!!##KEYWORDS
!!    primary default keywords
!!
!!      colors:
!!        r,         red,       R,  RED
!!        g,         green,     G,  GREEN
!!        b,         blue,      B,  BLUE
!!        m,         magenta,   M,  MAGENTA
!!        c,         cyan,      C,  CYAN
!!        y,         yellow,    Y,  YELLOW
!!        e,         ebony,     E,  EBONY
!!        w,         white,     W,  WHITE
!!
!!      attributes:
!!        it,        italic
!!        bo,        bold
!!        un,        underline
!!
!!      basic control characters:
!!       nul
!!       bel  (0x07, ^G) beeps;
!!       bs   (0x08, ^H) backspaces one column (but not past the beginning of
!!                       the line);
!!       ht   (0x09, ^I) goes to the next tab stop or to the end of the line if
!!                       there is no earlier tab stop;
!!       lf   (0x0A, ^J),
!!       vt   (0x0B, ^K)
!!       ff   (0x0C, ^L) all give a linefeed, and if LF/NL (new-line mode) is
!!                       set also a carriage return
!!       cr   (0x0D, ^M) gives a carriage return;
!!       so   (0x0E, ^N) activates the G1 character set;
!!       si   (0x0F, ^O) activates the G0 character set;
!!       can  (0x18, ^X) and SUB (0x1A, ^Z) interrupt escape sequences;
!!       sub
!!       esc  (0x1B, ^[) starts an escape sequence;
!!       del  (0x7F) is ignored;
!!
!!      other:
!!        clear
!!        default
!!        reset
!!        gt
!!        lt
!!        save,DECSC     Save  current state (cursor coordinates, attributes,
!!                       character sets pointed at by G0, G1).
!!        restore,DECRC  Restore state most recently saved by ESC 7.
!!        CSI            "Control Sequence Introducer"(0x9B) is equivalent to
!!                       "ESC [".
!!
!!      dual-value (one for color, one for mono):
!!
!!        write(*,*)attr('<ERROR>an error message')
!!        write(*,*)attr('<WARNING>a warning message')
!!        write(*,*)attr('<INFO>an informational message')
!!
!!    By default, if the color mnemonics (ie. the keywords) are uppercase
!!    they change the background color. If lowercase, the foreground color.
!!    When preceded by a "/" character the attribute is returned to the
!!    default.
!!
!!    The "default" keyword is typically used explicitly when reset=.false,
!!    and sets all text attributes to their initial defaults.
!!
!!##LIMITATIONS
!!    o colors are not nestable, keywords are case-sensitive,
!!    o not all terminals obey the sequences. On Windows, it is best if
!!      you use Windows 10+ and/or the Linux mode; although it has worked
!!      with all CygWin and MinGW and Putty windows and mintty.
!!    o you should use "<gt>" and "<lt>" instead of ">" and "<" in a string
!!      processed by attr(3f) instead of in any plain text output so that
!!      the raw mode will create correct input for the attr(3f) function
!!      if read back in.

!!    attr_update(3f) - [M_attr] update internal dictionary given keyword
!!                      and value
!!    (LICENSE:MIT)
!!
!!##SYNOPSIS
!!

!!     character(len=*),intent(in),optional  :: val
!!     character(len=*),intent(in),optional  :: mono_val
!!
!!##DESCRIPTION
!!    Update internal dictionary in M_attr(3fm) module.
!!
!!##OPTIONS
!!    key       name of keyword to add, replace, or delete from dictionary
!!    val       if present add or replace value associated with keyword. If
!!              not present remove keyword entry from dictionary.
!!    mono_val  if present add or replace second value associated with
!!              keyword used for plain text mode.
!!              Must only be specified if VAL is also specified.
!!
!!##KEYWORDS
!!    The following keywords are defined by default
!!
!!    colors:
!!
!!      r,red     c,cyan     w,white
!!      g,green   m,magenta  e,ebony
!!      b,blue    y,yellow
!!
!!    If the color keywords are capitalized they control the text background
!!    instead of the text color.
!!
!!    attributes:
!!
!!      ul,underline
!!      it,italics (often produces inverse colors on many devices

!!##NAME
!!    alert(3f) - [M_attr] print messages using a standard format including
!!    time and program name
!!    (LICENSE:MIT)
!!
!!##SYNOPSIS
!!
!!     subroutine alert(message,&
!!     g0,g1,g2,g3,g4,g5,g6,g7,g8,g9,ga,gb,gc,gd,ge,gf,gg,gh,gi,gj)
!!
!!        character(len=*),intent(in),optional :: type
!!        character(len=*),intent(in),optional :: message
!!        class(*),intent(in),optional :: g0,g1,g2,g3,g4,g5,g6,g7,g8,g9, &
!!                                      & ga,gb,gc,gd,ge,gf,gg,gh,gi,gj
!!
!!##DESCRIPTION
!!    Display a message prefixed with a timestamp and the name
!!    of the calling program when the TYPE is specified as any
!!    of 'error','warn', or 'info'.
!!
!!    It also allows the keywords
!!    <ARG0>,<TZ>,<YE>,<MO>,<DA>,<HR>,<MI>,<SE>,<MS> to be used in the
!!    message (which is passed to ATTR(3f)).
!!
!!    Note that time stamp keywords will only be updated when using ALERT(3f)
!!    and will only be displayed in color mode!
!!
!!##OPTIONS
!!    TYPE     if present and one of 'warn','message','info', or 'debug'
!!             a predefined message is written to stderr of the form
!!
!!              : <HR>:<MI>:<SE>.<MS> : (<ARG0>) : TYPE -> message
!!
!!    MESSAGE  the user-supplied message to display via a call to ATTR(3f)
!!
!!    g[0-9a-j]   optional values to print after the message. May
!!                be of type INTEGER, LOGICAL, REAL, DOUBLEPRECISION,
!!                COMPLEX, or CHARACTER.
!!
!!    if no parameters are supplied the macros are updated but no output
!!    is generated.
!!
!!##EXAMPLE

!!                "Who knows what is happening now?.")
!!      call alert("???    ",  "not today you don't")
!!      ! call to just update the macros
!!      call alert()
!!      ! conventional call to ATTR(3f) using the ALERT(3f)-defined macros
