Is there any terminal, that throws out all the stone age terminal stuff, like weird codes for starting colored output and stopping colored output? A terminal, that instead makes use of some XML tags or so, to mark text in a readable fashion as prompt, input, output, maybe variables and such, colored and non-colored, etc., and then simply has some logic to render that XML correctly?
Of course that would lead to not recognizing weird color codes and so on, but perhaps there could be a plugin system, where one could add a plugin that transforms color codes and such in the output into XML tree representation.
And then one could perhaps log the whole thing in various formats: Only visible text with colors, without colors, whole XML tree, or as JSON, or whatever other format it translates well to. Also could be extended via plugin.
But bare bones it merely treats everything as text.
