Support ANSI coloring in code blocks

[ramonsmits]

It would be great if the following code block would support ANSI coloring:

[30m	Black Text
[31m	Red Text
[32m	Green Text
[33m	Yellow Text
[34m	Blue Text
[35m	Purple Text
[36m	Cyan Text
[37m	White Text

I tried txt, cmd, bash, shell but none seem to support this (yet..). This would be awesome for sharing log snippets and other console output.

I explicitly only want it in code blocks and not in regular markdown as I don't think it coloring must not be part of the formatting.

Maybe via for example the syntax keyword ansi if it should not be applied to all but I guess it makes sense to apply to all shell related formatters.

So, people are showing positive emojis but no response/triage from GitHub. Any chance this will be added? I understand not all ansi commands can be supported but coloring should be pretty easy.

Is maybe https://github.com/github-linguist/linguist a better repo?
