Parley
Rich text layout and editing library
Parley is a Rust library for implementing rich text layout and includes utilities for text selection and editing, as well as font enumeration and fallback through the companion library Fontique. Parley depends on the production-quality text shaping engine HarfRust. This project aims to prove Parley's flexibility through modularity, allowing users to choose the high low-level APIs that are suitable to them and making it easier to implement various layout strategies. Additionally, more layout and bidirectional text features will be implemented, especially targeting web use-cases. Further goals are to improve handling of font loading and font fallback behavior, focusing on performance as well as allowing richer web-style font selectors and fallback.
