Module LTerm_text

Styled text.

type t = (Zed_char.t * LTerm_style.t) array

Type of a string with styles for each characters.

val aval_width : Zed_string.width -> int
Conversions
val of_string : Zed_string.t -> t

Creates a styled string from a string. All characters of the string have no style.

val to_string : t -> Zed_string.t

Returns the string part of a styled string.

val of_utf8 : string -> t

Creates a styled string from a utf8 string. All characters of the string have no style.

val of_string_maybe_invalid : Zed_string.t -> t

Creates a styled string from a Zed_string. All characters of the string have no style. The string may contain invalid sequences, in which case invalid bytes are escaped with the syntax \yXX.

val of_utf8_maybe_invalid : string -> t

Creates a styled string from a string. All characters of the string have no style. The string may contain invalid UTF-8 sequences, in which case invalid bytes are escaped with the syntax \yXX.

val of_rope : Zed_rope.t -> t

Creates a styled string from a rope.

val to_rope : t -> Zed_rope.t

Returns the string part of a styled string as a rope.

val stylise : string -> LTerm_style.t -> t

stylise string style creates a styled string with all styles set to style.

Parenthesis matching
val stylise_parenthesis : t -> ?paren:(Zed_char.t * Zed_char.t) list -> int -> LTerm_style.t -> unit

stylise_parenthesis text ?paren pos style searchs for parenthesis group starting or ending at pos and apply them the style style. paren is the list of parenthesis recognized.

Markup strings

Markup strings are used to conveniently define styled strings.

type item =
  1. | S of Zed_utf8.t
    (*

    A UTF-8 encoded string.

    *)
  2. | R of Zed_rope.t
    (*

    A rope.

    *)
  3. | B_bold of bool
    (*

    Begins bold mode.

    *)
  4. | E_bold
    (*

    Ends bold mode.

    *)
  5. | B_underline of bool
    (*

    Begins underlined mode.

    *)
  6. | E_underline
    (*

    Ends underlined mode.

    *)
  7. | B_reverse of bool
    (*

    Begins reverse video mode.

    *)
  8. | E_reverse
    (*

    Ends reverse video mode.

    *)
  9. | B_fg of LTerm_style.color
    (*

    Begins foreground color.

    *)
  10. | E_fg
    (*

    Ends foreground color.

    *)
  11. | B_bg of LTerm_style.color
    (*

    Begins background color.

    *)
  12. | E_bg
    (*

    Ends background color.

    *)

Type of an item in a markup string.

type markup = item list

Type of a markup string.

val eval : markup -> t

eval makrup evaluates a markup strings as a styled string.

Styled formatters
val make_formatter : ?read_color:(Format.tag -> LTerm_style.t) -> unit -> (unit -> t) * Format.formatter

Create a formatter on a styled string. Returns a tuple get_content, fmt. Calling get_content () will flush the formatter and output the resulting styled string.

If a read_color function is provided, Format's tag are enabled and read_color is used to transform tags into styles.

val pp_with_style : (LTerm_style.t -> Format.tag) -> LTerm_style.t -> ('b, Format.formatter, unit, unit) format4 -> Format.formatter -> 'b

pp_with_style f will create a pretty printer analogous to stylise, using f to encode style into tags. Will only work on a formatter with tag enabled.

val styprintf : ?read_color:(Format.tag -> LTerm_style.t) -> ('a, Format.formatter, unit, t) format4 -> 'a

Equivalent of Format.sprintf for styled strings.

val kstyprintf : ?read_color:(Format.tag -> LTerm_style.t) -> (t -> 'a) -> ('b, Format.formatter, unit, 'a) format4 -> 'b

Equivalent of Format.ksprintf for styled strings.
