Subject: Doesn't Work in 'Vim' Windows
This module doesn't seem to work if invoked from within a 'Vim' window (gvim): a vim-textcolor command line that works fine from a shell prompt in a terminal window (and indeed as a :! command in 'Vim' running in a terminal) fails as a :! command from a 'Vim' window. This is not too surprising -- many terminal-like things fail or behave oddly in 'Vim' windows -- and it isn't a major problem. But it bit me the first time I tried to use this module (I was editing a script in 'Vim', and was using :!./% to run that script for testing) -- and since it was my first time, it took me quite a while to work out that the problem wasn't with my script! Perhaps this limitation could be documented as a known caveat, in the hope that others won't be caught out by it. Smylers
I've been unable to reproduce this. I can do something like this successfully in a gvim window: :!text-vimcolor --format xml foo.pl Maybe you have some different vimrc settings that break it? Anyway, the upcomming 0.09 will document this as a potential bug. qef

I, too, have been unable to reproduce the issue. 9 years later the module has gone through a number of changes. I'm closing this to clean up the queue. Feel free to reopen or file a new bug if anyone still has this issue.
