# colorstring [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/mitchellh/colorstring.svg)](https://travis-ci.org/mitchellh/colorstring)

colorstring is a [Go](http://www.golang.org) library for outputting colored
strings to a console using a simple inline syntax in your string to specify
the color to print as.

For example, the string `[blue]hello [red]world` would output the text
"hello world" in two colors. The API of colorstring allows for easily disabling
colors, adding aliases, etc.

## Installation

Standard `go get`:

```
$ go get github.com/mitchellh/colorstring
```

## Usage & Example

For usage and examples see the [Godoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/mitchellh/colorstring).

Usage is easy enough:

```go
fmt.Println(colorstring.Color("[blue]Hello [red]World!"))
```

Additionally, the `Colorize` struct can be used to set options such as
custom colors, color disabling, etc.
