A lightweight procedural macro library for extracting string literal contents from tokens. Built for proc-macro authors.

</div>

## What is this?

Litext provides a macro to extract the inner text from a string literal token. You pass raw tokens to `litext!` and it gives you back the unwrapped string content without the quotes.

This is a proc-macro helper library. It is designed for proc-macro authors who need to extract string content from TokenStream input during macro expansion without the bloat.

Zero dependencies, tiny, built for proc-macro authors.

## Installation

Add `litext` to project:

```sh
cargo add litext
```

## Quick Start

```rust
use litext::{litext, TokenStream};

pub fn my_macro(input: TokenStream) -> TokenStream {
    let string_content: String = litext!(input);
    // ... use string_content
}
```

## Features

- Extract string content from TokenStream tokens
- Support for regular strings: `"hello world"`
- Support for raw strings: `r#"hello world"#`
- Support for raw strings with multiple hashes: `r##"hello #" world"##`
- Clear error messages for invalid inputs
- Zero runtime dependencies

## Requirements

- Rust 2024 edition
- A proc-macro crate (this library is for macro authors, not end users)
