rich printing

[juftin]

This PR adds Rich as a dependency and includes the option to print with Markdown formatting with the --rich flag.

Resolves: #12

Let me know if you're still interested in this and I'm happy to adapt it if you'd like

I just tried this and it is so nice to see!
I coupled it with #293 to add readline and together they make chat a real pleasure to use

I see it's done with the .live() option, with streaming. Very nice. Previously it was possible to pipe the output to Rich to get Markdown rendering, but then streaming is lost. Live Markdown is a readability boost especially for chat mode.

any chance this functionality could move forward? Whether from this PR or another like it. imo it'd be a boon to the UX of this tool! @simonw

Looks awesome, would love to see this implemented!

I've been wanting to implement this myself for weeks. I use llm daily and the lack of rich formatting is the only issue I have with it. I recently discovered rich and found it delightful and robust, so was planning on adding this to llm myself, but discoverd this PR. Are we just waiting on @simonw to review or is there work to be done? I'm happy to help :)

UPDATE: I rebased, fixed some weird edge cases that were causing tests to fail, and resolved merged conflicts. I've opened #571 with the improvements, as this PR seems to have gone quiet 😢

Honestly, a general hooks framework with a toml config would be more useful. What would be really nice is generic interception

[gianlucatruda]

@kristopolous I ultimately wrote https://github.com/gianlucatruda/richify to solve this and use it daily now.

UPDATE: I see in another thread you know about this and have built something cool of your own. Will discuss there.
