Column formatters

[jtorjo]

This should basically work for both the view and the details pane (for instance, an xml msg could be shown in a friendly manner)
But for now, I may want to print several lines into one?

Column formatters should be allowed to have context (and eventually have settings based on which they do the formatting)

• for instance, i could specify, in settings -> what colors to apply to the text
• they need to be applied in such a way that they can add/modify colors of the text itself (or bold/italic etc.)
• Tuple<int,int,print_info> -> needs to become a class, so that i can deal with it in an easier fashion -- need to be able to easily iterate through all "prints" -> like in description_ctrl.show_sub_item (to make generic)

Need to be able to easily give colors (defaults) to certain colors, such a green-like-in-VS for line numbers, some color for dates and so on.

Again, the column formatter must be able to have context so for instance I could even be able to mark visually times from minute to minute (like, when minute changes, change color) - this should only happen for the filters are run (so that you can have filters set the line color TOTHINK)

TODO:

• in addition to the message to write, i need to allow extra information, such as alignment.
• i have to be able to set a column formatter for "all" columns, and for specific columns: however, i may want to set the order of these columns (for instance, a certain formatter to be applied to all columns before another one is applied to a specific column, etc.). Thus, I should be able to assign several formatters to the same column(s). Probably the easiest is to just have an "order" setting (integer). This also means that for a certain column (or for all), i should be able to have several formatters
• i need to be able to allow for both bg and fg

marked it as hi priority -> want to have that tuple<> go away, and also I should be able to have a way to format a column that that i can add pictures to it. Example: on the line column, if it's a new line, show a red dot or something.

note: i need to be able to apply several column formatters to a given column (chain them)

question: does the formatter override the line color or not? do I want to have this as a parameter?

I have to say it - what I've done is insanely awesome 😃
