Rendering ansi escape codes and output redirection

[JacekArdanowski]

Hi,
I was just wondering if it's possible not to print ANSI escape characters when console output is being redirected to a file.
I'm thinking about special option which will prevent writing ANSI with:
app.exe > output.txt

In case of ordinary markup text: it is fine, because we can check the property Console.IsOutputRedirected and decide whether to use standard Console.Out, AnsiConsole.Markup() or even strip the markup from string.
Although with AnsiConsole.Write(IRenderable) and output redirection, it is impossible to control this behaviour and output.txt will always have ANSI characters.

So my question is: is it possible to add a flag to AnsiConsole which won't produce any ANSI characters when output from console is being redirected? Thanks.

@JacekArdanowski You can set AnsiConsole.Profile.Capabilities.Ansi to false to prevent ANSI/VT codes from being outputted.

Thank you! I'm going to see if it helps.
