✨ NAME ✨

KinoSearch1::Highlight::Formatter — the little glow-up artist that formats highlighted bits inside your excerpts 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

# abstract base class

Yes bestie, that's the whole synopsis. It's abstract — you don't instantiate this one directly, you let its subclasses do the actual serving. 👑

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so Formatter objects have literally one job and they are obsessed with it: they highlight pieces of text inside an excerpt. That's it. That's the whole personality. 💅

And the text they're highlighting? Could be a single term — one lil word — or it could be a whole phrase. Either way, the Formatter is on it. ✨

---

🎀 METHODS 🎀

💜 highlight

my $highlighted = $formatter->highlight($text);

This is the moment. This is the main character energy. 🫶 You hand it $text, and it hands you back the highlighted version — like surrounding the text with asterisks, or <strong> HTML tags, or whatever flavor of sparkle you're going for. No cap, that's the vibe. 🌈
