</details>

<details>
<summary><b>YAML</b></summary>

```yaml
chapters:
  - title: "Basic Example"
    code: |
      def hello(name: str) -> str:
          return f"Hello, {name}!"

      def main():
          print(hello("World"))
    steps:
      - description: "Function Definition"
        focus:
          - type: regex
            pattern: "def hello.*:$"
            style: "bold yellow"
      - description: "Return Statement"
        focus:
          - type: literal
            text: 'return f"Hello, {name}!"'
            style: "bold green"
      - description: "Main Function"
        focus:
          - type: range
            start: 26 #  Calculated index for "def main"
            end: 53 #  Calculated length of the code
            style: "bold blue"
```

To run the YAML example:

1. Save the YAML content as a `.yaml` file (e.g., `tuitorial.yaml`).
2. Either:
   - Use the provided `tuitorial.run_from_yaml(...)` function:
   - Run `tuitorial --watch tuitorial.yaml` from the command line.

```bash
# From the command line
tuitorial --watch tuitorial.yaml
```

or

```python
# In a separate Python file (e.g., run_yaml.py)
from tuitorial.parse_yaml import run_from_yaml

run_from_yaml("tuitorial.yaml")
```

## 📖 Usage

### 📚 Multiple Chapters

<details>
<summary><b>Python</b></summary>

```python markdown-code-runner
# First chapter
chapter1_code = '''
def greet(name: str) -> str:
    return f"Hello, {name}!"
'''
chapter1_steps = [
    Step("Greeting Function", [Focus.regex(r"def greet.*:$")]),
    Step("Return Statement", [Focus.literal('return f"Hello, {name}!"')]),
]
chapter1 = Chapter("Greetings", chapter1_code, chapter1_steps)

# Second chapter
chapter2_code = '''
def farewell(name: str) -> str:
    return f"Goodbye, {name}!"
'''
chapter2_steps = [
    Step("Farewell Function", [Focus.regex(r"def farewell.*:$")]),
    Step("Return Statement", [Focus.literal('return f"Goodbye, {name}!"')]),
]
chapter2 = Chapter("Farewells", chapter2_code, chapter2_steps)

# Run tutorial with multiple chapters
app = TuitorialApp([chapter1, chapter2])
app.run()
```

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>YAML</b></summary>

```yaml
chapters:
  - title: "Greetings"
    code: |
      def greet(name: str) -> str:
          return f"Hello, {name}!"
    steps:
      - description: "Greeting Function"
        focus:
          - type: regex
            pattern: "def greet.*:$"
      - description: "Return Statement"
        focus:
          - type: literal
            text: 'return f"Hello, {name}!"'

  - title: "Farewells"
    code: |
      def farewell(name: str) -> str:
          return f"Goodbye, {name}!"
    steps:
      - description: "Farewell Function"
        focus:
          - type: regex
            pattern: "def farewell.*:$"
      - description: "Return Statement"
        focus:
          - type: literal
            text: 'return f"Goodbye, {name}!"'
```

</details>

### 🚶 Steps

Each step in a tutorial consists of a description and a list of focuses.

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
Step(
    "Step Description",  # Shown in the UI
    [
        Focus.literal("some text"),  # One or more Focus objects
        Focus.regex(r"pattern.*"),   # Can combine different focus types
    ]
)
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
steps:
  - description: "Step Description"
    focus:
      - type: literal
        text: "some text"
      - type: regex
        pattern: "pattern.*"
```

### 📝 Markdown Descriptions

Step descriptions support **Markdown formatting** using [Rich's Markdown renderer](https://rich.readthedocs.io/en/latest/markdown.html). This allows you to create richly formatted descriptions with headings, bold/italic text, lists, code snippets, and more.

**Supported Markdown features:**

- `## Headings` - Section headers
- `**bold**` and `*italic*` - Text emphasis
- `` `inline code` `` - Code snippets
- `- bullet lists` and `1. numbered lists` - Lists
- `> blockquotes` - Quoted text
- Code blocks with triple backticks

**Example (YAML):**

```yaml
steps:
  - description: |
      ## Welcome to the Tutorial

      This step demonstrates **Markdown** formatting:

      - **Bold text** for emphasis
      - *Italic text* for subtle emphasis
      - `inline code` for technical terms

      > Pro tip: Use Markdown to make your descriptions more readable!
    focus:
      - type: literal
        text: "some_function"
```

**Example (Python):**

```python markdown-code-runner
Step(
    """## Key Concept

This function does **two things**:

1. Validates the input
2. Returns the result

Use `help(func)` for more info.""",
    [Focus.literal("def func")]
)
```

> [!NOTE]
> Markdown descriptions also work with bullet point chapters via the `extra` field.

### 🎯 Focus Types

#### Literal Match

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
Focus.literal("def", style="bold yellow")
Focus.literal("def", style="bold yellow", match_index=[0, 2]) # Highlight the first and third "def"
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: literal
    text: "def"
    style: "bold yellow"
  - type: literal
    text: "def"
    style: "bold yellow"
    match_index: [0, 2] # Highlight the first and third "def"
```

**`match_index` note:**

- If provided as an integer, only highlight the nth match (0-based).
- If provided as a list of integers, highlight the matches corresponding to those indices.
- If None, highlight all matches.

#### Regular Expression

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
Focus.regex(r"def \w+\(.*\):", style="bold green")
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: regex
    pattern: "def \\w+\\(.*\\):"
    style: "bold green"
```

#### Line Number

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
Focus.line(1, style="bold blue")  # Highlight first line
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: line
    line_number: 1
    style: "bold blue"
```

#### Range

Highlights a specific range of characters within the code based on their indices (0-based).

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
Focus.range(0, 10, style="bold magenta")  # Highlight first 10 characters
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: range
    start: 0
    end: 10
    style: "bold magenta"
```

#### Starts With

Highlights lines starting with the specified text. Can be configured to match from the start of any line or only at the start of the line.

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
Focus.startswith("import", style="bold blue", from_start_of_line=True)
Focus.startswith("from", style="bold blue", from_start_of_line=False)
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: startswith
    text: "import"
    style: "bold blue"
    from_start_of_line: true
  - type: startswith
    text: "from"
    style: "bold blue"
    from_start_of_line: false
```

#### Between

Highlights text between two specified patterns. Supports inclusive or exclusive bounds, multiline matching, and greedy or non-greedy matching.

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
Focus.between("start_function", "end_function", style="bold blue", inclusive=True, multiline=True)
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: between
    start_pattern: "start_function"
    end_pattern: "end_function"
    style: "bold blue"
    inclusive: true
    multiline: true
    match_index: 0 # Only highlight the first match (0-based)
    greedy: true # Use greedy matching (longest possible match)
```

#### Line Containing

Highlights entire lines that contain a specified pattern, with optional inclusion of surrounding lines.
Can match either literal text or regular expressions, and can select specific matches.

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
# Highlight all lines containing "def"
Focus.line_containing("def", style="bold yellow")

# Include surrounding lines
Focus.line_containing(
    "def",
    style="bold yellow",
    lines_before=1,
    lines_after=1,
)

# Use regex and only highlight second match
Focus.line_containing(
    r"def \w+",
    style="bold blue",
    regex=True,
    match_index=1,
)
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: line_containing
    pattern: "def"
    style: "bold yellow"
    lines_before: 1 # optional: include line before match
    lines_after: 1 # optional: include line after match
    regex: false # optional: treat pattern as regex
    match_index: 0 # optional: only highlight first match (0-based)
```

The `line_containing` focus type is particularly useful for:

- Highlighting function definitions and their body
- Showing imports and their surrounding context
- Focusing on specific sections of code while maintaining readability
- Matching patterns across multiple lines with surrounding context

#### Markdown

Displays the content as Markdown instead of code, using Textual's built-in `Markdown` widget. Only one `markdown` focus is allowed per step, and it will take precedence over any other focus types.

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
Focus.markdown()
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: markdown
```

#### Syntax Highlighting

Uses Rich's built-in syntax highlighting for the entire code or specific lines. Only one `syntax` focus is allowed per step, and it will take precedence over any other focus types besides `markdown`.

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
# Highlight all code
Focus.syntax(theme="monokai", line_numbers=True)

# Highlight specific lines
Focus.syntax(
    theme="monokai",
    start_line=0,
    end_line=3,
)
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: syntax
    lexer: "python" # optional: language to highlight (default: python)
    theme: "monokai" # optional: color theme
    line_numbers: true # optional: show line numbers
    start_line: 0 # optional: first line to highlight
    end_line: 3 # optional: last line to highlight
```

### 🎨 Styling

Styles can be customized using Rich's style syntax:

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
from rich.style import Style

# Using string syntax
Focus.literal("def", style="bold yellow")

# Using Style object
Focus.literal("def", style=Style(bold=True, color="yellow"))
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
focus:
  - type: literal
    text: "def"
    style: "bold yellow" # Using string syntax

  - type: literal
    text: "def"
    style: "bold color(yellow)" # Using Style object
```

</details>

### 🔄 Live Reloading (Development Mode)

`tuitorial` offers a convenient development mode that automatically reloads your tutorial whenever you make changes to the YAML configuration file. This allows you to iterate quickly on your tutorial's content and see your changes reflected in real-time without manually restarting the application.

**Usage:**

To enable live reloading, use the `--watch` (or `-w`) flag when running `tuitorial` from the command line:

```bash
tuitorial tutorial.yaml --watch
```

or

```bash
tuitorial tutorial.yaml -w
```

**How it Works:**

When you run `tuitorial` with the `--watch` flag, it will monitor the specified YAML file for any modifications. If a change is detected, `tuitorial` will automatically:

1. Parse the updated YAML configuration.
2. Reload the tutorial content within the running application.
3. Preserve the current chapter and step, so you can continue where you left off.

### 🎨 Custom Highlighting Patterns

**Python:**

    Focus.regex(r"\([^)]*\)", style=ARGUMENT_STYLE),
]

# Create tutorial step
tutorial_steps = [
    Step("Function Definition", patterns),
]

# Create a chapter

### 🖼️ Displaying Images

`tuitorial` supports displaying images within your tutorials using the `ImageStep` class.
This allows you to incorporate visual aids, diagrams, or any other images to enhance your presentations.

#### ImageStep

The `ImageStep` class takes the path or URL to an image file (or a PIL Image object) and a description as input.

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
from pathlib import Path
from tuitorial import Chapter, ImageStep, TuitorialApp

# Path to your image
image_path = Path("path/to/your/image.png")

# Define an ImageStep
image_step = ImageStep("Displaying an example image", image_path)

# Create a chapter with the image step
chapter = Chapter("Image Example", "", [image_step])

# Run the tutorial
app = TuitorialApp([chapter])
app.run()
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
chapters:
  - title: "Image Example"
    steps:
      - description: "Displaying an example image"
        image: "path/to/your/image.png" # or URL
```

#### Image Positioning and Sizing

You can control the size of the image using the `width` and `height` properties when creating the `Image` widget within the `ImageStep`. These properties accept either integer values (for pixel dimensions) or strings representing percentages (relative to the container's size).

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
from pathlib import Path
from textual_image.widget import Image
from tuitorial import Chapter, ImageStep, TuitorialApp

image_path = Path("path/to/your/image.png")

# Set fixed width in cells and auto height
image_step_fixed = ImageStep("Fixed Size Image", image_path, width=300, height="auto")

# Set width as a percentage of the container and height in cells
image_step_percentage = ImageStep("Percentage Width Image", image_path, width="50%", height=200)

chapter = Chapter("Image Examples", "", [image_step_fixed, image_step_percentage])
app = TuitorialApp([chapter])
app.run()
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
chapters:
  - title: "Image Examples"
    steps:
      - description: "Fixed Size Image"
        image: "path/to/your/image.png"
        width: 300 # Fixed width in cells
        height: "auto" # Auto height
      - description: "Percentage Width Image"
        image: "path/to/your/image.png"
        width: "50%" # Width as a percentage
        height: 200 # Fixed height in cells
```

#### Alignment

By default, images are aligned to the center.
You can align images to the left or right by setting `halign` to `"left"` or `"right"` respectively when creating the `ImageStep`.


```yaml
chapters:
  - title: "Image Alignment"
    steps:
      - description: "Left Aligned Image"
        image: "path/to/your/image.png"
        halign: "left"
      - description: "Right Aligned Image"
        image: "path/to/your/image.png"
        halign: "right"
```

### 🎬 Title Slide

`tuitorial` allows you to create a visually appealing title slide for your tutorial using ASCII art generated by [PyFiglet](https://github.com/pwaller/pyfiglet).

**Python:**

```python markdown-code-runner
from tuitorial import TuitorialApp, TitleSlide

title_slide = TitleSlide(
    "My Tutorial",     # Title text (required)
    subtitle="An Awesome Tutorial",  # Optional subtitle
    font="slant",   # Optional: PyFiglet font (see available fonts below)
    gradient="lava",  # Optional: Gradient color (see available gradients below)
)

app = TuitorialApp([], title_slide=title_slide)
app.run()
```

**YAML:**

```yaml
title_slide:
  title: "My Tutorial"
  subtitle: "An Awesome Tutorial"
  font: "slant"
  gradient: "lava"

chapters:
  # ... your chapters ...

### 📖 Helper Functions

#### `create_bullet_point_chapter`

This helper function simplifies the creation of chapters that present information in a bullet-point format.
It automatically generates the code content from the list of bullet points, and each step in the generated chapter will highlight a different bullet point.

<details>
<summary><b>Python</b></summary>

```python markdown-code-runner
from rich.style import Style
from tuitorial import TuitorialApp
from tuitorial.helpers import create_bullet_point_chapter

bullet_points = [
    "This is the first point.",
    "Here is the second point.",
    "And finally, the third point.",
]

# Create a chapter with bullet points
bullet_point_chapter = create_bullet_point_chapter(
    "My Bullet Points",
    bullet_points,
    style=Style(color="magenta", bold=True),
)

# You can also add extra descriptive text per step:
bullet_point_chapter_with_extras = create_bullet_point_chapter(
    "My Bullet Points with Extras",
    bullet_points,
    extras=[
        "Extra info for point 1.",
        "More details about point 2.",
        "Final thoughts on point 3.",
    ],
    style=Style(color="green", bold=True),
)

app = TuitorialApp([bullet_point_chapter, bullet_point_chapter_with_extras])
app.run()
