## What Is Farben

Farben is a terminal styling library for Rust that uses markup syntax. Color your terminal without typing whatever the heck `\x1b[31m` is.

```rust
use farben::prelude::*;

cprintln!("[bold red]Error:[/] something went wrong.");
```

## Features

- **Markup-like Syntax**: Easy to read, easy to write.
- **Zero Required Runtime Dependencies**: Only path dependencies.
- **Opt-in Compile-time Processing**: Validate and process markup at compile time via the `compile` feature.
- **8 Color Formats**: Named, ANSI256, RGB, HSL, HSV/HSB, HWB, Lab, LCH, OKLCh, hex.
- **11 Emphasis Styles**: Bold, dim, italic, underline, double-underline, blink, rapid-blink, reverse, invisible, strikethrough, overline.
- **Inline Syntax**: `*bold*`, `/italic/`, `` `code` ``, `~strikethrough~`, `_underline_` via the `inline` feature.
- **Bleed Variants**: Skip trailing reset for chained output.
- **User-defined Styles**: `style!()` and `prefix!()` for custom tags.
- **anstyle Interop**: Convert to/from `anstyle::Style`.
