You might find DomTerm (http://domterm.org http://domterm.org) interesting. It combines solid traditional-terminal support (including solid xterm compatibility) with a data model based on HTML/DOM. So you can "print" images, HTML tables, and more. DomTerm "understands" shell/repl commands as consisting of prompts, inputs, and outputs. You can add markers to group the output into logical groups, so it is automatically re-formatted on window re-size. And more.
