Highlights terminal CSI ANSI color codes.

Author: Ashkan Kiani <from-nvim-colorizer.lua@kiani.io>

==============================================================================
USAGE                                                          *colorizer-usage*

 Establish the autocmd to highlight all filetypes.

       `lua require 'colorizer'.setup()`

 Highlight using all css highlight modes in every filetype

       `lua require 'colorizer'.setup(user_default_options = { css = true; })`

==============================================================================
USE WITH COMMANDS                                          *colorizer-commands*

   *:ColorizerAttachToBuffer*

       Attach to the current buffer and start highlighting with the settings as
       specified in setup (or the defaults).

       If the buffer was already attached(i.e. being highlighted), the
       settings will be reloaded with the ones from setup.
       This is useful for reloading settings for just one buffer.

   *:ColorizerDetachFromBuffer*

       Stop highlighting the current buffer (detach).

   *:ColorizerReloadAllBuffers*

       Reload all buffers that are being highlighted currently.
       Shortcut for ColorizerAttachToBuffer on every buffer.

   *:ColorizerToggle*
       Toggle highlighting of the current buffer.

USE WITH LUA

       All options that can be passed to user_default_options in `setup`
       can be passed here. Can be empty too.
       `0` is the buffer number here

       Attach to current buffer >
	   require("colorizer").attach_to_buffer(0, {
	     mode = "background",
	     css = false,
	   })
<
       Detach from buffer >
	   require("colorizer").detach_from_buffer(0, {
	     mode = "background",
	     css = false,
	   })
