Tailing/auto-reverting a file with ANSI escape sequences

I have a log file that I would like to tail/follow in an emacs buffer, and it also has ANSI escape sequences for color that I would either want to display in right colours or just strip (for display) so that I can read the text. How can I do this? I’ve tried enabling both follow mode and ANSI mode, but when the buffer gets reverted/followed, ANSI mode turns off. Thanks for any help you can give.

Off the top of my head, these are your (non-exhaustive) options: - Make a function that calls `revert-buffer` and then the minor mode that you want, bind it to whatever you like. - use .dir-locals.el https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Directory-Variables.html - set file local variables https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/FileLocalVariables - Add hook for the major-mode of that logfile that enables the minor mode you need - Add hook to find-file / revert-buffer with the regex of your logfile that enables the minor mode you need

Have you tried auto-revert-tail-mode?

How is itail-mode doing?
