# Description
i've always found the `ansi --help` extra usage hard to read and
understand...
i decided to give it a shot today, so here is what i came up 😋
- make the extra usage structured with `nushell` tables
- make the examples clearer with variables and comments
one change that might appear strange is the following last two commits

`ansi` is never used on `list` inputs, as can be seen in the `Ansi.run`
function: `_input: PipelineData` is never used.
this broke the tests (see [this
action](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/actions/runs/4589552235/jobs/8104520078#step:4:1392))
for no real reason...
