Description
Hello!
I am currently stuck on trying to get the formatted text. Is there any easy way to do that?
I tried a lot and came up with this, but it is not perfect . After calling the get_formatted_text function twice, I get a I/O operation on closed file error.
from prompt_toolkit import print_formatted_text, HTML
from io import StringIO
import sys
# set isatty to True so create_output does not create a PlainTextOutput
class TtyStringIO(StringIO):
def isatty(self) -> bool:
return True
def get_formatted_text(text):
with TtyStringIO() as str_io:
sys.stdout = str_io
print_formatted_text(HTML(text))
sys.stdout = sys.__stdout__
val = str_io.getvalue()
return val
# This Works as expected
print(get_formatted_text("<b>Hello World</b>"))
# This fails with a ValueError: I/O operation on closed file
print(get_formatted_text("Hello World"))
