R Console Formatting of message() and warning()

[dertristan]

Hi,

is it possible to have the R Console formatting of message() and warning() in Positron similar to that of recent RStudio versions?

I love how RStudio formats the console outputs of message() especially:

So I wondered if that is possible in Positron as well - Error messages seem to be formatted a similar way and warning messages are at least highlighted red but calls from message() look more appealing (to me) in the RStudio version.

Thank you!

Hey @dertristan, thank you for this suggestion and the helpful screenshots 🙌

I have copied this over to #1881, where we have some initial thoughts on improving how warnings are displayed. I think this would be a combination of making changes in Ark and in the Positron Console frontend to improve the visual display of messages. #1881 is a good place to follow progress on this, and you can also upvote 👍 that issue to voice your interest!

Thank you for pointing me to and forwarding my question to #1881!

I've opened a new Positron issue at #10416 because the Ark issue is about something slightly different.
