    );

    let report = Report::new_char_spanned(
        include_str!("basic.pseudo"),
        [
            (
                29..102,
                format!("{}", "In this match expression".dimmed()),

            ),
            (
                64..75,
                format!("{} {}", "This is of type".dimmed(), "int".bright_white()),

                format!("{} {}", "This is of type".dimmed(), "string".bright_white()),
                (207, 255, 64),

Usage

This crate provides:

  • the Report struct which takes the source code and an iterator over the span, text, and color of all messages
  • the Theme, ThemeChars, ThemeEffects, and ThemeSizing structs which can be used to customize the appearance of a report display

Code spans can be byte-aligned or char-aligned. Different methods for constructing a Report for either are provided.

The API is kept simple in order to allow as much flexibility as possible to the user. It does not make any assumptions or care about the provenance of the source code.

Planned Features

  • Colorless support.
