Fine-tuning output

These options fine-tune the detailed layout and displayed content of SVG output.

SVG text fitting (--adjust)

You can control the SVG lengthAdjust attribute to reduce character-width differences caused by viewers or font-rendering environments.

• spacing (default): Adjusts only the spacing between characters. This prevents glyph distortion.
• spacingAndGlyphs: Also stretches or shrinks the glyph widths themselves so they line up exactly with terminal cells.

Terminal

console2svg capture --adjust spacingAndGlyphs -- btop

Header and prompt adjustment

You can customize the command display added by -c (--with-command).

• --prompt <text>: Changes the prompt symbol (default: $ or #).
• --header <text>: Replaces the entire command-line header with the specified string.

Terminal

# Change the prompt to ❯
console2svg capture -c --prompt "❯ " -- echo "Hello"

# Replace the entire header with the specified string
console2svg capture --header "user@server:~$ ./build.sh" -- ./build.sh
