# Thuli

A quiet little REPL for exploring [Farben](https://crates.io/crates/farben) markup.

> Thuli is Zulu for "quiet" or "peace". The name fits: a calm, focused space
> for typing markup and seeing what comes out, without noise.

## Install

```bash
cargo install thuli
```

Or build from source:
```bash
cargo install --git https://codeberg.org/razkar/thuli
```

## What it is

A small interactive shell, in the spirit of `python` or `irb`, but for testing colors and Farben
markup. Type a line of markup, see the rendered terminal output. Define styles
on the fly. Inspect what the parser is doing under the hood. Super customizable.

It also works as a one-shot tool from the shell:

</details>

## Features

- Interactive REPL loop (read line, render, quit on Ctrl+D)
- Pretty error printing (no panics)
- Commands: /help, /quit, /tags, /style, /prefix, /show, /theme, /load
- One-shot mode via CLI argument
- Theme loading from `theme.frb.toml`

Coming soon: tab completion for tag names, a /colors command for
browsing the ANSI 256 palette, history persistence.

## Quick Start

Run the REPL:
```bash
thuli
```

One-shot mode:
```bash
thuli '[bold cyan]hello'
```

Requires Rust 2024 edition (Rust 1.85+).
