```

---

## 🚀 Quick Start

```python
import textstyle as ts

# Basic styling
print(ts.style("Error", color="red", look="bold"))
print(ts.style("Success", color="green", look="bold"))

# Markup format
print(ts.format("This is <red>red</red> and <bold>bold</bold>!"))

# Hex colors
print(ts.style("Custom", color="#FF5733", look="bold"))

# Create custom styles
ts.create("error", color="red", look="bold")
print(ts.format("An <error>error</error> occurred!"))

# Use themes
ts.set_theme("dark")
print(ts.format("<error>Error:</error> Connection failed"))
```

## 📖 Documentation

### Basic Usage

#### `style(text, color=None, bg=None, look=None)`

Apply styling to text directly.

```python
import textstyle as ts

# Simple colors
print(ts.style("Hello", color="red"))
print(ts.style("World", color="blue", look="bold"))

# Background colors
print(ts.style("Alert", color="white", bg="red", look="bold"))

# Hex colors
print(ts.style("Brand", color="#FF5733"))

# RGB tuples
print(ts.style("Custom", color=(255, 87, 51)))

# Multiple looks
print(ts.style("Fancy", color="cyan", look=["bold", "underline"]))
```

**Available colors:**
- `black`, `red`, `green`, `yellow`, `blue`, `magenta`, `cyan`, `white`
- `bright_black`, `bright_red`, `bright_green`, `bright_yellow`, `bright_blue`, `bright_magenta`, `bright_cyan`, `bright_white`

**Available looks:**
- `bold`, `dim`, `italic`, `underline`, `blink`, `reverse`, `hidden`, `strikethrough`

**Background colors:**
- Prefix any color name with `bg_` (e.g., `bg="red"` or `bg="bright_blue"`)

---

#### `format(text)`

Format text using markup-style tags.

```python
import textstyle as ts

# Predefined color tags
print(ts.format("This is <red>red</red> text"))

# Predefined look tags
print(ts.format("This is <bold>bold</bold> text"))

# Background tags
print(ts.format("Alert: <bg_red><white>WARNING</white></bg_red>"))

# Hex color tags
print(ts.format("Brand: <#FF5733>orange</#FF5733>"))

# Nested tags
print(ts.format("<red><bold>Bold Red</bold></red>"))

# Complex combinations
print(ts.format(
    "Status: <green>Connected</green> | "
    "Warnings: <yellow>2</yellow> | "
    "Errors: <red>0</red>"
))
```

---

### Custom Styles

#### `create(name, color=None, bg=None, look=None)`

Create reusable custom styles.

```python
import textstyle as ts

# Create custom styles
ts.create("error", color="red", look="bold")
ts.create("success", color="green", look="bold")
ts.create("warning", color="yellow", look="bold")
ts.create("highlight", color="black", bg="yellow")

# Use in format()
print(ts.format("<error>ERROR:</error> Connection failed"))
print(ts.format("<success>SUCCESS:</success> File saved"))
print(ts.format("Please <highlight>note</highlight> this"))

# Use as function (dynamic attribute access)
print(ts.error("Direct error styling"))
print(ts.success("Direct success styling"))
```

#### `delete(name)`

Remove a custom style.

```python
ts.delete("error")  # Returns True if deleted, False if not found
```

---

### Theme System

#### `set_theme(theme)`

Apply a theme with multiple predefined styles.

**Built-in themes:**

```python
import textstyle as ts

# Dark theme (bright colors)
ts.set_theme("dark")
print(ts.format("<error>Error</error> <success>Success</success>"))

# Light theme (standard colors)
ts.set_theme("light")
print(ts.format("<warning>Warning</warning> <info>Info</info>"))
```

**Custom themes:**

```python
ts.set_theme({
    "primary": {"color": "#007AFF", "look": "bold"},
    "secondary": {"color": "#5856D6"},
    "danger": {"color": "white", "bg": "#FF3B30", "look": "bold"},
    "success": {"color": "#34C759", "look": "bold"},
    "muted": {"color": "bright_black"}
})

print(ts.format("<primary>Primary Button</primary>"))
print(ts.format("<danger>Delete Account</danger>"))
```

**Built-in theme styles:**
- `error` - Error messages
- `success` - Success messages
- `warning` - Warning messages
- `info` - Informational messages
- `debug` - Debug output
- `critical` - Critical alerts

---

### Temporary Styles

#### `temporary(name, color=None, bg=None, look=None)`

Context manager for temporary styles.

```python
import textstyle as ts

# Temporary style exists only in context
with ts.temporary("temp", color="magenta", look="italic"):
    print(ts.format("<temp>This is temporary</temp>"))
    print(ts.format("Still using <temp>temp</temp>"))

# After context, style is automatically deleted
print(ts.format("<temp>This is plain text</temp>"))
```

---

### Utility Functions

#### `strip(text)`

Remove all markup tags from text.

```python
import textstyle as ts

markup = "<red>Hello</red> <bold>World</bold>"
print(ts.strip(markup))  # Output: "Hello World"
```

#### `clean(text)`

Remove all ANSI escape codes from text.

```python
import textstyle as ts

styled = ts.style("Hello", color="red", look="bold")
print(ts.clean(styled))  # Output: "Hello"
```

#### `length(text)`

Calculate visible text length (ignoring ANSI codes).

```python
import textstyle as ts

styled = ts.style("Hello", color="red", look="bold")
print(len(styled))        # Output: 19 (includes ANSI codes)
print(ts.length(styled))  # Output: 5 (visible length)
```

#### `enable()` / `disable()`

Globally enable or disable styling.

```python
import textstyle as ts

print(ts.style("Styled", color="red"))  # Colored output

ts.disable()
print(ts.style("Plain", color="red"))   # Plain text

ts.enable()
print(ts.style("Styled", color="red"))  # Colored output again
```

```bash
export NO_COLOR=1
python your_script.py  # No colors or styles
```

### `FORCE_COLOR`

Force enable styling even in non-TTY environments:

```bash
export FORCE_COLOR=1
python your_script.py | tee output.log  # Colors preserved
```

---

## 🔧 Advanced Usage

### Nested Tags

```python
import textstyle as ts

print(ts.format(
    "<red><bold>Error:</bold> <underline>Connection failed</underline></red>"
))

print(ts.format(
    "<bg_blue><white>Info: <bold>Processing...</bold></white></bg_blue>"
))
```

### Combining Multiple Styles

```python
import textstyle as ts

# Multiple looks in style()
print(ts.style("Text", color="red", look=["bold", "underline"]))

# Combining custom styles
ts.create("alert", color="white", bg="red", look="bold")
ts.create("code", color="cyan", look="italic")

print(ts.format(
    "<alert>Warning:</alert> Check <code>config.yaml</code>"
))
```

### Dynamic Styling

```python
import textstyle as ts

def status_color(value):
    if value < 50:
        return "green"
    elif value < 80:
        return "yellow"
    else:
        return "red"

cpu_usage = 75
print(ts.style(
    f"CPU: {cpu_usage}%",
    color=status_color(cpu_usage),
    look="bold"
))
```

### Working with Alignment

```python
import textstyle as ts

# Align with visible length
def align_text(text, width):
    visible_len = ts.length(text)
    padding = width - visible_len
    return text + " " * padding

styled = ts.style("Status", color="green", look="bold")
print(align_text(styled, 20) + "OK")
```

---

## 💡 Tips & Tricks

### Disable Styling in Production

```python
import os
import textstyle as ts

if os.getenv("PRODUCTION"):
    ts.disable()
```

### Custom Logger Integration

```python
import logging
import textstyle as ts

class ColoredFormatter(logging.Formatter):
    COLORS = {
        'DEBUG': 'bright_black',
        'INFO': 'cyan',
        'WARNING': 'yellow',
        'ERROR': 'red',
        'CRITICAL': 'white'
    }
    
    def format(self, record):
        levelname = record.levelname
        msg = super().format(record)
        
        if levelname in self.COLORS:
            color = self.COLORS[levelname]
            bg = 'red' if levelname == 'CRITICAL' else None
            look = 'bold' if levelname in ['ERROR', 'CRITICAL'] else None
            
            parts = msg.split(levelname, 1)
            if len(parts) == 2:
                styled_level = ts.style(levelname, color=color, bg=bg, look=look)
                msg = parts[0] + styled_level + parts[1]
        
        return msg

handler = logging.StreamHandler()
handler.setFormatter(ColoredFormatter('%(levelname)s: %(message)s'))
logger = logging.getLogger()
logger.addHandler(handler)
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
```

### Performance Considerations

```python
import textstyle as ts

# For high-frequency output, disable if not needed
if not sys.stdout.isatty():
    ts.disable()

# Reuse styled strings
HEADER = ts.style("Header", color="cyan", look="bold")
ERROR = ts.style("ERROR", color="red", look="bold")

# Use format() for complex markup
# It's more efficient than multiple style() calls
```

---

## 🎓 Learning Path

1. **Beginner** - Start with `style()` function
2. **Intermediate** - Use `format()` with markup tags
3. **Advanced** - Create themes and custom styles
4. **Expert** - Build reusable components and utilities
