-### Console logging
+## Rich library
+
+Rich contains a number of builtin _renderables_ you can use to create elegant output in your CLI and even help you debug your code.
+
+
+Logging
The Console object has a `log()` method which has a similar interface to `print()`, but also renders a column for the current time and the file and line which made the call. By default Rich will do syntax highlighting for Python structures and for repr strings. If you log a collection (i.e. a dict or a list) Rich will pretty print it so that it fits in the available space. Here's an example of some of these features.
