Parsing an ATR: now in color

Since 2010 I provide a way to parse an ATR online using a web page. I also provide a Python script to do the same using a command line tool.

I am not a user interface design expert. But I like to have important elements in color. Syntax colorization is a great invention. So I decided to add color to the ATR parsing results.

Command line

The same software is also available as a command line tool: parseATR.py

Conclusion

I like colorization.
