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.
