TextmodiTerminals are a class of text-based terminal environments that render and interpret text modifiers—markers that change how text is presented without altering its content.

Key features include color themes, bold/italic/underline, dynamic panes, inline widgets, and accessibility hooks for assistive technologies.
Status is experimental, with early-adoption use and ongoing discussions about standardizing the modifier protocol to improve
Use cases include system dashboards, terminal-based code reviews, live documentation, and teaching scenarios where readable, accessible
