Description
My commands :pytest.main(['-q', "--html=report.html", '-n=4'])
I have not set pytest "-- color=yes"
Using xdits causes the report color output to be ansi characters. Unrecognized html report

I want to disable ansi characters from outputting to html files because I may not need color display

Research direction
Start by reproducing the shown pytest.main invocation with xdist and the HTML report option, then trace where ANSI-colored output is passed into the report. Done means the generated HTML contains no ANSI escape characters when color is disabled while the report remains valid.
