If set to a true value, letters with no mappings are assigned a
random one.

  my $html = aa2ht( { 'randomize-new-colors' => 1 }, $ascii);

You might want to remove the default mappings if you're really
interested in a completely random effect:

  my $html = aa2ht( { 'use-default-colors' => 0,
                      'randomize-new-colors' => 1 }, $ascii);

You might also want to keep the white space as a white block:

  my $html = aa2ht( { 'use-default-colors' => 0,
                      'colors' => { ' ' => 'ffffff'},
                      'randomize-new-colors' => 1 }, $ascii);

=head4 table

With the parameter C<table> you can specify specific values for fields
like C<border>, C<cellpadding> and C<cellspacing> (all these have
value "0" by default).

  my $html = aa2ht( { 'table' => { 'border' => '1' } }, $ascii );

These attributes go directly into the C<table> tag.

=head4 tr

With the C<tr> parameter you can specify specific values for C<tr>'s
attributes.

These attributes go into a C<style> tag. The table class uses that
style.

=head4 td

With the C<td> parameter you can specify specific values for C<td>'s
attributes, like C<width> or C<height>.

  my $html = aa2ht( { 'td' => { 'width' => '2px',
                                'height' => '2px' } }, $ascii);

These attributes go into a C<style> tag. The table class uses that
style.

=head3 SPECIALS

=head4 optimization

Table optimization, which is disabled by default, uses the C<rowspan>
and C<colspan> C<td> attributes to save up space.

  my $html = aa2ht( { 'optimization' => 1 }, $ascii );

When the optimization algorithm sees a chance of turning some cells
into a big one, it does so. It always chooses the biggest area
possible for optimizing.

If two different areas suitable for optimization starting from a given
cell are available and both present the same area size, the algorithm
picks the one that maximizes width.

=head4 default color

By default, an unmapped character is mapped to the default color,
which is black.

You can override this color by assigning a different mapping to
"default" with the C<colors> option.

  my $html = aa2ht( { 'colors' => { 'default' => 'ffffff' } }, $ascii);

This, for instance, makes the default color be white, thus making only
the recognized characters show up colored on the table.

=head1 MAPPINGS ( LETTER -> COLOR )

The following letters are mapped to colors in the following way:

   l          000000   # black
   b          0000ff   # blue
   o          a52a2a   # brown
   g          00ff00   # green
   a          bebebe   # gray
   e          bebebe   # grey
   m          ff00ff   # magenta
   o          ffa500   # orange
   p          ffc0cb   # pink
   u          a020f0   # purple
   r          ff0000   # red
   w          ffffff   # white
   y          ffff00   # yellow

   L          000000   # light black
   B          add8e6   # lighe blue
   O          a52a2a   # light brown
   G          90ee90   # light green
   A          d3d3d3   # light gray
   E          d3d3d3   # light grey
   M          ff00ff   # light magenta
   O          ffa500   # light orange
   P          ffb6c1   # light pink
   U          9370db   # light purple
   R          cd5c5c   # light red
   W          ffffff   # light white
   Y          ffffe0   # light yellow

Spaces are mapped to white:

              ffffff   # white

By default, everything else is mapped to black

  default     000000   # black
