+======
+Styles
+======
+
+Pygments comes with :doc:`some builtin styles </styles/>` that work for both the
+HTML and LaTeX formatter.
+
+The builtin styles can be looked up with the `get_style_by_name` function:
+
+.. sourcecode:: pycon
+
+ >>> from pygments.styles import get_style_by_name
+ >>> get_style_by_name('colorful')
+ <class 'pygments.styles.colorful.ColorfulStyle'>
+
+You can pass a instance of a `Style` class to a formatter as the `style`
+option in form of a string:
+
+.. sourcecode:: pycon
+
+ >>> from pygments.styles import get_style_by_name
+ >>> from pygments.formatters import HtmlFormatter
+ >>> HtmlFormatter(style='colorful').style
+ <class 'pygments.styles.colorful.ColorfulStyle'>
+
+Or you can also import your own style (which must be a subclass of
+`pygments.style.Style`) and pass it to the formatter:
+
+.. sourcecode:: pycon
+
+ >>> from yourapp.yourmodule import YourStyle
+ >>> from pygments.formatters import HtmlFormatter
+ >>> HtmlFormatter(style=YourStyle).style
+ <class 'yourapp.yourmodule.YourStyle'>
+
+
+Creating Own Styles
+===================
+
+See :ref:`creating-own-styles`.
+
+
+Builtin Styles
+==============
+
+Pygments ships some builtin styles which are maintained by the Pygments team.
+
+To get a list of known styles you can use this snippet:
+
+.. sourcecode:: pycon
+
+ >>> from pygments.styles import STYLE_MAP
+ >>> STYLE_MAP.keys()
+ ['default', 'emacs', 'friendly', 'colorful']
+
+
+Getting a list of available styles
+==================================
+
+.. versionadded:: 0.6
+
+Because it could be that a plugin registered a style, there is
+a way to iterate over all styles:
+
+.. sourcecode:: pycon
+
+ >>> from pygments.styles import get_all_styles
+ >>> styles = list(get_all_styles())
+
+
+.. _AnsiTerminalStyle:
+
+Terminal Styles
+===============
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.2
+
+Custom styles used with the 256-color terminal formatter can also map colors to
+use the 8 default ANSI colors. To do so, use ``ansigreen``, ``ansibrightred`` or
+any other colors defined in :attr:`pygments.style.ansicolors`. Foreground ANSI
+colors will be mapped to the corresponding `escape codes 30 to 37
+<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors>`_ thus respecting any
+custom color mapping and themes provided by many terminal emulators. Light
+variants are treated as foreground color with and an added bold flag.
+``bg:ansi<color>`` will also be respected, except the light variant will be the
+same shade as their dark variant.
+
+See the following example where the color of the string ``"hello world"`` is
+governed by the escape sequence ``\x1b[34;01m`` (Ansi bright blue, Bold, 41 being red
+background) instead of an extended foreground & background color.
+
+.. sourcecode:: pycon
+
+ >>> from pygments import highlight
+ >>> from pygments.style import Style
+ >>> from pygments.token import Token
+ >>> from pygments.lexers import Python3Lexer
+ >>> from pygments.formatters import Terminal256Formatter
+
+ >>> class MyStyle(Style):
+ styles = {
+ Token.String: 'ansibrightblue bg:ansibrightred',
+ }
+
+ >>> code = 'print("Hello World")'
+ >>> result = highlight(code, Python3Lexer(), Terminal256Formatter(style=MyStyle))
+ >>> print(result.encode())
+ b'\x1b[34;41;01m"\x1b[39;49;00m\x1b[34;41;01mHello World\x1b[39;49;00m\x1b[34;41;01m"\x1b[39;49;00m'
+
+Colors specified using ``ansi*`` are converted to a default set of RGB colors
+when used with formatters other than the terminal-256 formatter.
+
+By definition of ANSI, the following colors are considered "light" colors, and
+will be rendered by most terminals as bold:
+
+- "brightblack" (darkgrey), "brightred", "brightgreen", "brightyellow", "brightblue",
+ "brightmagenta", "brightcyan", "white"
+
+The following are considered "dark" colors and will be rendered as non-bold:
+
+- "black", "red", "green", "yellow", "blue", "magenta", "cyan",
+ "gray"
+
+Exact behavior might depends on the terminal emulator you are using, and its
+settings.
+
+.. _new-ansi-color-names:
+
+.. versionchanged:: 2.4
+
+The definition of the ANSI color names has changed.
+New names are easier to understand and align to the colors used in other projects.
+
+===================== ====================
+New names Pygments up to 2.3
+===================== ====================
+``ansiblack`` ``#ansiblack``
+``ansired`` ``#ansidarkred``
+``ansigreen`` ``#ansidarkgreen``

+
+Old ANSI color names are deprecated but will still work.
