annotate-snippets
annotate-snippets is a Rust library for annotation of programming code slices.
The library helps visualize meta information annotating source code slices.
It takes a data structure called Snippet on the input and produces a String
which may look like this:
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/format.rs:52:1
|
51 | ) -> Option<String> {
| -------------- expected `Option<String>` because of return type
52 | / for ann in annotations {
53 | | match (ann.range.0, ann.range.1) {
54 | | (None, None) => continue,
55 | | (Some(start), Some(end)) if start > end_index => continue,
... |
71 | | }
72 | | }

Usage
use annotate_snippets::{
display_list::{DisplayList, FormatOptions},
snippet::{Annotation, AnnotationType, Slice, Snippet, SourceAnnotation},
};
fn main() {
let snippet = Snippet {

label: Some("expected type, found `22`"),
id: None,
annotation_type: AnnotationType::Error,
}),
footer: vec![],
slices: vec![Slice {

,
range: <22, 25>,"#,
line_start: 26,

fold: true,
annotations: vec![
