💖 NAME 💖

KinoSearch1::Highlight::SimpleHTMLFormatter — it wraps your highlight bits in tags, bestie. That's the whole job. That's the vibe.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

my $formatter = KinoSearch1::Highlight::SimpleHTMLFormatter->new(
    pre_tag  => '<i>',
    post_tag => '</i>',
);

# returns "<i>foo</i>"
my $highlighted = $formatter->highlight("foo");

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so this is a subclass of KinoSearch1::Highlight::Formatter, and what it does is highlight text by surrounding it with HTML "strong" tags. Like, it puts stuff before and after the good part. Simple. Iconic. No notes. 💅

🌸 METHODS 🌸

🎀 new

Constructor, babe. Takes hash-style params. She's low maintenance, she just wants her tags.

my $formatter = KinoSearch1::Highlight::SimpleHTMLFormatter->new(
    pre_tag =>  '*', # default: '<strong>'
    post_tag => '*', # default: '</strong>'
);

• pre_tag — a string that gets inserted immediately prior to the highlightable text, usually to accentuate it because we love a lil drama. If you're not feeling the highlighting at all, set both pre_tag and post_tag to ''. Not me being anti-highlight but go off. 🙈
• post_tag — a string that gets inserted immediately after the highlightable text. The closing act. The little bow on top. 🎀
