Unistyle

Unicode text styles for Go:

• 𝗕𝗼𝗹𝗱
• 𝘐𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘤
• U̲n̲d̲e̲r̲l̲i̲n̲e̲
• S̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶
• 𝒞𝓊𝓇𝓈𝒾𝓋ℯ
• 𝔊𝔬𝔱𝔥𝔦𝔠
• And more! See the docs

How does this work?

These styles are split into two categories:

1. Unicode includes a table of combining diacritical marks that can be used to modify the previous character in a string. This allows for effects like underline, overline, and strikethrough.

2. Unicode includes multiple styles for most common characters. Using a character offset replacement mapping you can transform strings into their bold, italic, cursive or other styled equivalents.

Usage Example

Here is a small example. See the tests for more.

package main

import (
  "fmt"
  "github.com/danielgtaylor/unistyle"
)

func main() {
  // Diacritic examples
  fmt.Println(unistyle.Bold("Bold text"))
  fmt.Println(unistyle.Strikethrough("Strike", unistyle.StrikeStrokeLong))

  // Character mapping examples
  fmt.Println(unistyle.Cursive("Cursive"))
  fmt.Println(unistyle.Fraktur("Gothic"))
}
