console markup escaping issue

Discussed in #1939

My code:

from rich import print as rprint

rprint("[dim white]\[url=[/]")

I'm trying to print simply [url= but I end up getting [url=[/]. What am I doing wrong?

@codenotworking You may have discovered an edge case with the escaping.

In the meantime, you could do this:

rprint("[dim white]\[url=")

More generally, you could work with a Text object which will give you more fine control.

@darrenburns Can you look at why this doesn't work. I would have expected that to render [url=

[codenotworking]

In the meantime, you could do this:

rprint("[dim white]\[url=")

# Code
rprint("[dim white]\[url=[cyan]https://github.com/[/][dim white]][/]")

# Result
[url=[cyan]https://github.com/]

More generally, you could work with a Text object which will give you more fine control.

Got it. It seems rich.Text will serve me.

Did I solve your problem?

Why not buy the devs a coffee to say thanks?
