UniQuote
This crate allows quoting strings for use in output. It works similarly to
str::escape_debug
, but the result is meant to be shown to users. Simply
call Quote::quote
on an argument passed to println!
or a similar macro
to quote it.
One of the primary uses for this crate is displaying paths losslessly. Since
Path
has no Display
implementation, it is usually output by calling
Path::display
or Path::to_string_lossy
beforehand. However, both of
those methods are lossy; they replace all invalid characters with
REPLACEMENT_CHARACTER
. This crate escapes those invalid characters instead,
allowing them to always be displayed correctly.
Usage
Add the following lines to your "Cargo.toml" file:
[]
= "3.3"
See the documentation for available functionality and examples.
