hyper-html-log

Plugin for the hyper terminal emulator to record the output of terminal sessions to a static, standalone HTML file which can be viewed in a web browser. The intent of this plugin is to aid instructors when teaching classes how to use UNIX terminals (eg, in Software Carpentries classes), and it is developed as a component of the livecode-streamer project.

Usage

Open the Tools menu (from the hamburger in Windows/Linux and from the top bar in MacOS) and check Log to HTML, which will present a file picker to choose the output location. The log will be updated whenever you hit the return key. To stop logging, select Log to HTML again to uncheck it.

Installation

Run the following command:
hyper i hyper-html-log

Caveats

This plugin deliberately does not include content in the log printed while the terminal is in raw mode (eg, in an interactive application like nano or less), as it is unclear exactly how these scenarios should be presented in a static format.
