howl.ui.markup.howl

Overview

Howl markup is a simple markup used for easily creating StyledText instances. It’s a simple HTML-like markup that allows markup up specified parts of a string with certain styles. For example:

m = require 'howl.ui.markup.howl'

styled_text = m('<keyword>foo</keyword>')
-- => A StyledText instance containing "foo", with the style "keyword"

styled_text = m('<keyword>foo</>')
-- => The same, ending markers can be simplified

styled_text = m('<keyword>foo</> <string>"bar"</>')
-- => A StyledText instance containing 'foo "bar"', styled as "keyword" and "string"
