Required Methods

fn start_highlighter_state<'h>( &'h self, source: &dyn SpanContents<'_>, ) -> Box<dyn HighlighterState + 'h>

Creates a new HighlighterState to begin parsing and highlighting a SpanContents.

The GraphicalReportHandler will call this method at the start of rendering a SpanContents.

The SpanContents is provided as input only so that the Highlighter can detect language syntax and make other initialization decisions prior to highlighting, but it is not intended that the Highlighter begin highlighting at this point. The returned HighlighterState is responsible for the actual rendering.
