Console Markup
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
Rich supports a simple markup which you can use to insert color and styles virtually everywhere Rich would accept a string (e.g. :meth:`~rich.console.Console.print` and :meth:`~rich.console.Console.log`).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Syntax
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Console markup uses a syntax inspired by `bbcode <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode>`_. If you write the style (see :ref:`styles`) in square brackets, i.e. ``[bold red]``, that style will apply until it is *closed* with a corresponding ``[/bold red]``.
|
|
|
|
Here's a simple example::
|
|
|
|
from rich import print
|
|
print("[bold red]alert![/bold red] *Something happened*")
|
|
|
|
If you don't close a style, it will apply until the end of the string. Which is sometimes convenient if you want to style a single line. For example::
|
|
|
|
print("[bold italic yellow on red blink]This text is impossible to read")
|
|
|
|
There is a shorthand for closing a style. If you omit the style name from the closing tag, Rich will close the last style. For example::
|
|
|
|
print("[bold red]Bold and red[/] not bold or red")
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rendering Markup
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
By default, Rich will render console markup when you explicitly pass a string to :meth:`~rich.console.Print.print` or implicitly when you embed a string in another renderable object such as :class:`~rich.table.Table` or :class:`~rich.panel.Panel`.
|
|
|
|
Console markup is convenient, but you may wish to disable it if the syntax clashes with the string you want to print. You can do this by setting ``markup=False`` on the :meth:`~rich.console.Print.print` method or on the :class:`~rich.console.Console` constructor.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Markup API
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
You can convert a string to styled text by calling :meth:`~rich.text.Text.from_markup`, which returns a :class:`~rich.text.Text` instance you can print or add more styles to.
