alba-syntax 0.2.1

//! Turns spanned parser/lexer errors into rendered, Rust-quality
//! diagnostics: the source line, a caret under the exact span, and help
//! text.
//!
//! [`Diagnostic`] implements [`miette::Diagnostic`] so it can be handed to
//! any of miette's report handlers. [`render_diagnostic`] wraps that up
//! with a fixed, platform-independent [`miette::GraphicalReportHandler`]
//! configuration, since a rendered report is otherwise sensitive to color
//! support, terminal width, and unicode support, which vary across
//! machines and CI runners.
