TermLayout

• Ruby markup (multiple rt and rb elements are stacked)
• Tables (including nesting and alignment)
• Wide characters (uses locale settings from LC_CTYPE, LANG etc)
• Smaller terminal sizes. In some cases a table will still end up being wider than the terminal and not easily reflowable; if that happens then at least each cell should fit. But in many cases TermLayout can arrange for no horizontal scrolling to be necessary.

TermLayout is not a Web browser: it has no facilities for navigating links. It is meant only for formatting text on a terminal using HTML markup. I wrote it when I wanted to page through a document with Ruby markup in fbterm but couldn't find a text-mode browser that would format this markup correctly.

Download termlayout.py; you will need Python (2 or 3) and a command prompt. (You can also use pip install termlayout or pipx run termlayout if you prefer, and there is history on GitHub.)

• If you are using TermLayout with an annotator generated by Annotator Generator, you might also be interested in this tmux-annotator script which sets up tmux with a "hotkey" to annotate the current screen and display the result in TermLayout.
