I have started using genpdf as my pdf backend and really like the StyledString and Style types. I would like to also use them for my other backends, unfortunately using them requires pulling in all of genpdf's dependencies so I think it would make sense to make a new styled-string crate for it.
P.s.: Thank you for your work on this
May I ask what your other backends are and what style information you need? I already created the
text-stylecrate for this purpose (with colors and text effects). I just didn’t manage to add conversions forgenpdfyet. Would that work for you?
For now I want to emit to ansi term and probably html so
text-styleshould work great for me. I might want to use fonts in the future but that is very low priority for now.
Great! I’ve added a
genpdfbackend totext-style– let me know if you need a release.
Thank you very much. I'm okay with tracking master for now, so do the next release when you think it makes sense.
