Usage

Command line usage

style-print can be used from the command line using the style-print command. The script takes three arguments:

• positional text: The text to be printed, or the ?gimme command
• optional options: The options for formatting the text
• info ?gimme: A special text that prints the available colors and formats
• optional -d or --disable-gimme: A flag that disables the default behavior when the text is equal to "?gimme".

Text

The text argument is the text to be printed. If the text is equal to "?gimme", then the available colors and formats are printed. This behavior can be disabled by passing the -d or --disable-gimme flag. You must use double quotes if you want to print a string that contains spaces.

Options

The options argument is used to pass the formatting options to printy. The options are passed in a string format. You must use double quotes if you want to use background colors or colors with greater than or smaller than signs. For example, to set the text color to light red and background color to blue and underlined-bold-italic, you can pass the option "r>UBI{b}".

For more information on the options available, see the printy library documentation: https://github.com/edraobdu/printy#list-1-flags

In code usage

Just use the printy library itself. The style-print package is just a wrapper around the printy library for command line usage.
