HTMLize colour output from shell command with aha
aha is a tool to convert your colorized console output to HTML.
For example, the following commmand:
grep --color=always native Makefile | aha
will produce the following output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="application/xml+xhtml; charset=UTF-8" />

# In this case, the paths written to 'src/epaths.h' must be in <span style="font-weight:bold;color:red;">native</span>

find <span style="font-weight:bold;color:red;">native</span>-lisp -type d -exec $(MKDIR_P) "$(ELN_DESTDIR){}" \; ; \
find <span style="font-weight:bold;color:red;">native</span>-lisp -type f -exec ${INSTALL_DATA} "{}" "$(ELN_DESTDIR){}" \;
-rm -rf <span style="font-weight:bold;color:red;">native</span>-lisp

By default aha adds the HTML header, you can run with -n option to prevent this behaviour.
Then you can paste your HTML code and it will give this:
# In this case, the paths written to 'src/epaths.h' must be in native
### Install native compiled Lisp files.
find native-lisp -type d -exec $(MKDIR_P) "$(ELN_DESTDIR){}" \; ; \
find native-lisp -type f -exec ${INSTALL_DATA} "{}" "$(ELN_DESTDIR){}" \;
-rm -rf native-lisp
