[Gambas-user] Add ToConsole to TextHighlighter class in gb.eval.highlight

[Brian G]

I have attached a copy again with a different encoding I hope this is better. 

The code is completely terminal agnostic and uses only well published escape sequences. 

So here is the code again, It has functioned correctly on every single terminal I have tested it upon( that is all I could find in linux domain), 
Except the console page of Gambas IDE where it only displayed what looked like shades of grey, bold and underline. but did not fail. 

I also attach a text application project source code archive. 

Thank You 
Brian G

Please post a readable attachment if you want us to look at it. 

Anyway, I can tell you that if your code is not terminal-agnostic, it 
can't go as is inside TextHighlighter.
