Emphasis
@Test
public void example() throws Exception {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder()
.append(new Text("I am normal")).append("\n")

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder()
.append(new Heading("Heading with level 1", 1)).append("\n")
.append(new Heading("Heading with level 2", 2)).append("\n")
.append(new Heading("Heading with level 3", 3)).append("\n")
.append(new Heading("Heading with level 4", 4)).append("\n")
.append(new Heading("Heading with level 5", 5)).append("\n")
.append(new Heading("Heading with level 6", 6));
System.out.println(sb);
}
Output:

====================
Heading with level 2
--------------------
### Heading with level 3
#### Heading with level 4
##### Heading with level 5
###### Heading with level 6

@Test
public void example() throws Exception {
System.out.println(new HorizontalRule());
System.out.println(new HorizontalRule(20, HorizontalRule.ASTERISK));
}
Output:

Images
@Test
public void example() throws Exception {
String text = "I am an image";
String url = "https://dummyimage.com/300";
System.out.println(new Image(text, url));
}
Output:
Lists
@Test
public void example() throws Exception {
List<Object> items = Arrays.asList(
"Items can be anything",
new Date(0),
1337
);
System.out.println(new UnorderedList<>(items));
}
Output:
- Items can be anything
- Thu Jan 01 01:00:00 CET 1970
- 1337
Tasks
@Test
public void example() throws Exception {
List<TaskListItem> items = Arrays.asList(
new TaskListItem("Task 1", true),
new TaskListItem("Task 2", false),
new TaskListItem("Task 3")
);
System.out.println(new TaskList(items));
}
Output:
- [x] Task 1
- [ ] Task 2
- [ ] Task 3
Tables
@Test
public void example() throws Exception {
Table.Builder tableBuilder = new Table.Builder()
.withAlignments(Table.ALIGN_RIGHT, Table.ALIGN_LEFT)
.withRowLimit(7)
.addRow("Index", "Boolean");
for (int i = 1; i <= 20; i++) {
tableBuilder.addRow(i, Math.random() > 0.5);
}
System.out.println(tableBuilder.build());
}
Output:
| Index | Boolean |
| -----:| ------- |
| 1 | false |
| 2 | true |
| 3 | false |
| ~~~~~ | ~~~~~~~ |
| 18 | false |
| 19 | true |
