Struct StylesParser 

pub struct StylesParser<'a> { /* private fields */ }

Parser for [V4+ Styles] section content

Parses format definitions and style entries from the styles section. Uses format mapping to handle different field orderings and missing fields.

Performance

• Time complexity: O(n * m) for n styles and m fields per style
• Memory: Zero allocations via lifetime-generic spans
• Target: <1ms for typical style sections with 50 styles

Implementations

impl<'a> StylesParser<'a>

pub fn parse_style_line( line: &'a str, format: &[&'a str], line_number: u32, ) -> Result<Style<'a>, ParseError>

Parse a single style line

Parses a single style definition line using the provided format specification. This method is exposed for incremental parsing support.

Arguments

• line - The style line to parse (without “Style:” prefix)
• format - The format fields from the Format line
• line_number - The line number for error reporting

Returns

Parsed Style or error if the line is malformed

Errors

Returns ParseError::InsufficientFields if the line has fewer fields than expected by format

pub fn new(source: &'a str, start_position: usize, start_line: usize) -> Self

Create new styles parser for source text

Arguments

• source - Source text to parse
• start_position - Starting byte position in source
• start_line - Starting line number for error reporting

pub fn with_format( source: &'a str, format: &[&'a str], start_position: usize, start_line: u32, ) -> Self

Create a new parser with a pre-known format for incremental parsing

pub fn parse(self) -> ParseResult<SectionParseResult<'a>>

Parse styles section content

Returns the parsed section and any issues encountered during parsing. Handles Format line parsing and style entry validation.

Returns

Tuple of (parsed_section, format_fields, parse_issues, final_position, final_line)

Errors

Returns an error if the styles section contains malformed format lines or other unrecoverable syntax errors.
