* TextStyle enum * CSI_AppendTextStyleChange * Add TextStyle to Attribute * Apply text style in NetOutput.Write() * Don't append escape code if nothing to change * Make TextStyle an init property * Apply TextStyle to OutputBuffer attributes * Fix flag checking Misunderstood how Enum.HasFlag worked, fixed now * Allow bold-faint text Also adds remarks to TextStyle noting that they may be incompatible depending on terminal settings. * Remove unnecessary check Realized it's actually impossible for no escape codes to be added, as this is only the case when prev and next are the same, which is already accounted for. * Remove redundant check Attributes are records, and thus already use equality-by-value, meaning attr != redrawAttr will already be false when the TextStyle changes. * WindowsOutput support for text style --------- Co-authored-by: Tig <tig@users.noreply.github.com>

Terminal.Gui: A toolkit for building rich console apps for Windows, the Mac, and Linux/Unix.
Quick Start

dotnet new tui -n myproj
cd myproj
dotnet run
To run the UICatalog demo app that shows all the controls and features of the toolkit, use the following command:
dotnet run --project Examples/UICatalog/UICatalog.csproj
There is also a visual designer (uses Terminal.Gui itself).
