## Key Features

- **Rich Text**: Use styled text with bold, italic, underline, and RGB/TrueColor support.
- **Markdown Rendering**: Render headers, lists, and code blocks directly in your terminal.
- **Beautiful Logging**: Structured, colored, and timestamped logging compatible with the `log` crate.
  ![Logging](docs/assets/logging.png)
- **Extensible API**: Create your own renderables and custom style themes.

## Installation

Add `fast-rich` to your `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
fast-rich = "0.3.0"
```

To enable all features (including Syntax Highlighting and Markdown, which bring in extra dependencies):

```toml
[dependencies]
fast-rich = { version = "0.2.0", features = ["full"] }
```

Or pick specific features:

```toml
[dependencies]
fast-rich = { version = "0.2.0", features = ["syntax", "markdown", "logging"] }
```

## Quick Start

```rust
use fast_rich::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    let console = Console::new();

    // Styled text using markup
    console.print("[bold red]Hello[/] [blue]World[/]!");

    // Create a table
    let mut table = Table::new();
    table.add_column("Features");
    table.add_column("Status");
    table.add_row_strs(&["Rich Text", "✅ Ready"]);
    table.add_row_strs(&["Tables", "✅ Ready"]);
    
    // Render the table
    console.print_renderable(&table);
}
```
