@Canop with this I'm done, and would love to get a release on crates.io ❤️

Ok.

BTW, I get very few feedback from termimad users, so it mostly fits my very special needs. So I'd welcome info on how you're using it and how it could be improved (for example on the chat at https://miaou.dystroy.org/3768?Rust)

I published 0.31.2

Thank you! Yes, I'd love to share. I made a wrapper lib that produces ratatui Line widgets instead of raw terminal output.

I've found that using markdown libs that produce AST it doesn't make sense to attempt to re-create the input just with some styling. That works for HTML or other representations, but not so much for a terminal (or any monospace display).

Termimad seems just right, but it's streamlined to write to a buffer (stdout) with crossterm styles. I need to make it work in a TUI app with ratatui, producing some kind of Line widget with ratatui styles. I had to hijack some parts of MadSkin to recreate the output but as ratatui widgets.

I was considering asking if it would make sense to refactor termimad to write to some kind of Output or Display trait, instead of fmt::Formatter, but I don't think termimad or most of it's users would benefit from that, and then dealing with traits makes everything more complicated.
