I would like to replace gvim with vim in the terminal. One of the nice things about gvim is that it is able to display text using italics.

Vim allows setting an ANSI escape code for italics (\e[3m), but this does not work in gnome-terminal. Is there a terminal emulator that supports the ANSI escape code for italics?

Are you certain that this is an official ANSI escape code? – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Oct 29 '10 at 11:36
No, I'm not :) Some sources mention it as a valid code though, e.g. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code – Ton van den Heuvel Oct 29 '10 at 11:43
That Wikipedia page shows \e[3m (3 rather than 2) which agrees with tput -T rxvt-unicode sitm|hexdump -C. – Dennis Williamson Oct 29 '10 at 18:55
Indeed, thanks, I've edited the question. – Ton van den Heuvel Oct 30 '10 at 12:30
