You can log the ansi codes along with the normal text too, but keep in mind that programs like Word or Notepad have no idea what do with these codes. If you log with ansi codes, you will be able to see the colors in the zMUD Editor, but not in many more places. To log the ansi codes, go into Prefs, expand General, select Logging and then make sure that Log ANSI color is selected.

Also, there are programs that convert a file with ansi codes into an HTML file. Do a search on these forums to find out more.

As Kjata says, you can convert these logs to HTML with various programs, but it's also possible to log directly to HTML from within zMUD with my HTML Logger plugin.

It's able to do both direct logging to HTML and log conversions from existing ANSI color text logs (such as Kjata describes).

That was a shameless plug, I know... so for good measure, you can get the other main contender in this category, Deathlok's ANSI2HTML, from here.
