This page documents efforts to colourise GHCi output.

1 Example
Or a type error:
Output like this would be the result of running, for example:
ghci --colour
and would appear in the console/xterm as ansi terminal coloured output.
2 Implementation
2.1 Using HsColour
An existing tool, HsColour, could be modified to operate interactively.
2.2 GuiHaskell
Neil Mitchell has a prototype gui haskell wrapper, based on gtk. Does this contain a reasonable ghci wrapper we could steal?
If you have an idea of how to do this nicely, add your proposal here.
