show-my-errors

This is a library to display simple errors in colorful, rustc-like way. It can't show multi-line errors or draw arrows between parts of code, but its interface is simple and easy to use. If you want something more complex, you probably should use annotate-snippets, which is used by rustc itself.

Basic usage

Entry point of this library is [AnnotationList]. You should create it, add some errors and then use .show_stderr() or .show_stdout() with some [Stylesheet] to display the message. ```rust let mut list = AnnotationList::new("hello.txt", "Hello world!"); list .warning(4..7, "punctuation problem", "you probably forgot a comma")? .info(0..0, "consider adding some translations", None)?; asserteq!(list.tostring()?, r#" warning: punctuation problem --> hello.txt:1:5 | 1 | Hello world! | ^^^ you probably forgot a comma

info: consider adding some translations --> hello.txt:1:1 | 1 | Hello world! | "#); ```
