Text Editor that can display ANSI Colour

Im looking for a text editor that when displaying a document will parse any ANSI colour codes it comes across into the correct colours rather than just show the codes in the ^[[xx;xx;xxm format

can anyone recomend somthing?

Emacs is simple, no more complex than anything else at least. Try using

to use ansi colour in emacs.
