Dividers

The d mark frames a message with a horizontal rule. It is a lightweight way to separate sections in a long run of output.

import neoprint as np

np.show(':d', 'Section title')
np.show('some line')
np.show('another line')

main.py:3   | ──────────────────── Section title ─────────────────────
main.py:4   | some line
main.py:5   | another line

The rule spans the console width; the text you passed sits in the middle.

Variants

np.show(':d1', 'thin')
np.show(':d2', 'thick')

Interaction with other marks

• :d cannot be combined with :l — a divider needs a single-line body. Combining them raises an AssertionError; see How Markup Works.
• :d turns :r2 off, because :r2 produces multi-line layouts too.
• Any other mark, such as :v8 or :i, still applies: np.show(':d2v7t', 'End') yields a thick divider with a timestamp, rendered in the v7 (dim red) style.

Shorthand

from neoprint import divider

divider('Section title')
