intent-render

Markdown and HTML renderer for IntentLang specifications.

Part of the IntentLang toolchain — a declarative specification language for human-AI collaboration.

What it does

Converts a parsed IntentLang AST into readable documentation:

• Markdown — entity field tables, action signatures with requires/ensures, invariant expressions, edge case rules
• HTML — self-contained styled HTML with the same content (no external dependencies)

Both renderers use a shared format_type helper for consistent type display (unions, generics, optionals).

Usage

use intent_parser::parse_file;
use intent_render::{markdown, html};

let source = r#"
module TransferFunds

entity Account {
  id: UUID
  balance: Decimal(precision: 2)
}
"#;

let module = parse_file(source).unwrap();

let md = markdown::render(&module);   // Markdown string
let page = html::render(&module);     // Self-contained HTML string
