Settings

Default configuration ```toml [api] base_url = "https://en.wikipedia.org/" # this is the url of wikipedia, it can be changed to change the language of wikipedia

The settings here are all colors and can be set by either the name of the color or a hex string (valid formats are: #ffffff, #fff)

The actual colors displayed in your terminal can change depending on your terminal settings

[theme] background = "white" # color used for View backgrounds title = "red" # color used for the title text highlight = "red" # color used for highlighting text highlightinactive = "blue" # color used for highlighting inactive text highlighttext = "white" # color used for highlighted text text = "black" # color used for the text search_match = "red" # color used for a search match in the results view

You can also change the theme of specific views

These settings are the same for every supported view

[theme.searchbar] background = "white" title = "red" highlight = "red" highlightinactive = "blue" highlight_text = "white" text = "black"

Currently, these views are supported:

- search_bar

- search_results

- search_preview

- article_view

- toc_view

You can disable certain parsing features by setting these values to false

All features are enabled by default

[parser] toc = true headers = true paragraphs = true lists = true code_blocks = true

[logging] enabled = true # can be either true or false. enables/disables logging logdir = "wikitui.log" # location of the file where the log will be written to log_level = "Info" # log level to be used, can be Debug, Info, Warn, Error

wiki-tui allows you to disable certain features like links completely.

All features are enabled by default

[features] links = true # enables/disables links (link selection, link opening, etc) headers = true # enables/disables header selection ```
