Highlighting step output as a color or active link

The log viewer recognizes the [STATUS] and [URL] commands in output text. The commands are not case-sensitive. You can use them in an echo command or any command that produces output. The start and end tags must appear on the same line of the output.

Example using [status]:
echo [STATUS=WARN]Access to source control timed out[/STATUS]
Example using [url]:
echo See the support forums at [url]http://www.ibm.com[/url]
The log displays the text as an active hyperlink to the indicated URL. Clicking it opens a new browser window or tab and shows the page. Please note, however, that a log filter matching part of the [URL] address will cause the link to become nonfunctional.
