Console markup in Text()

[ewels]

Sorry if I'm missing something. Is there a way to get console markup to work with Text() objects?

>>> console.print(Text("[red]some[/] text"))

[red]some[/] text

[willmcgugan]

Yep, Text.from_markup("[red]some[/] text")

Afraid not. But why do you need the conversion? You can console.print either a Markdown instance or a Text object.

Maybe you are generating a more complex output that can be built with Text. You could use groups.

Perfect! The @groups() decorator works a treat, thanks 🚀

Ack, ok final niggle. Groups works beautifully, but adds in a newline after each renderable.

So for example:

from rich import print
from rich.console import Group
from rich.text import Text
from rich.panel import Panel

panel_group = Group(
    Text("Hello", style="on blue"),
    Text("World", style="on red"),
)
print(Panel(panel_group))

Is there any way to get things in line with a Group? More like this:

print(Text("Hello", style="on blue"), Text("World", style="on red"))

You can use a table for your panel contents.. Table.grid() will create a borderless table. Another option is Columns, which will optimally fit a number of items.

Beauty! On point as ever, Columns works perfectly.. Thanks!
