Consolidation of output formatting into a single OutputFormat type has been an ongoing process. I started chasing an ANSI escaping bug (ANSI escape sequences appearing in redirected output) and decided to try consolidating more in the process, which came out reasonably nicely.

seqcli print now relies on OutputFormat instead of duplicated formatting logic. Handling of colour-related flags, settings, and environment variables is now centralized into the OutputFormat constructor.

Getting rid of Serilog.Expressions/Serilog console theming in favour of Seq.Syntax and expression templates would be a worthwhile follow-up.

Consolidation of output formatting into a single OutputFormat type has been an ongoing process. I started chasing an ANSI escaping bug (ANSI escape sequences appearing in redirected output) and decided to try consolidating more in the process, which came out reasonably nicely.
seqcli print now relies on OutputFormat instead of duplicated formatting logic. Handling of colour-related flags, settings, and environment variables is now centralized into the OutputFormat constructor.
Getting rid of Serilog.Expressions/Serilog console theming in favour of Seq.Syntax and expression templates would be a worthwhile follow-up.

When we migrate away from using ConsoleTheme this will (thankfully) go away; until then it does at least mean that --force-color works consisently for all commands.

Probably not a huge effort, mostly digging into why we haven't been able to do it previously :-)

Maybe we can do it as a follow-up, because this is still 90% of what we want either way?
