Can I disable highlighting for parts of a string?

[Hubro]

I'm using Rich to format my log messages. This works nicely, and I love the automatic highlighting, but I wish I could disable highlighting for the parts of the line that I have already manually styled with console markup.

Could there be a console markup tag to conditionally enable or disable highlighting for a chunk of text?

For example:

[bold blue]{loglevel}[/] [i]{time}[/] [highlight]{message}[/]

Basically I only want Rich to highlight the message part of my log lines.

Is there currently any way to achieve this?

Yes, you can construct text objects with Text.from_markup and you can highlight text with a highlighter. You can then combine the text in any arrangement you like. See the following pages from the docs:
