Nothing like as powerful as your app and entirely tangential to the topic of ANSI escapes, but my preferred way to generate HTML from source code is simply:

    vim +TOhtml +wq +q path/to/source/file.ext

That will save an HTML version at `path/to/source/file.ext.html` (conforming to my .vimrc's syntax settings, theme, etc) and I'm happy enough with my browser or system's print dialog to go from there.

That is awesome. I've been using vim for years and never knew it had a command for this. I guess I should do more spelunking through the docs. Thanks!
