from annotated_text import annotated_text

annotated_text(
    "This ",

    " some ",
    ("annotated", "adj"),
    ("text", "noun"),
    " for those of ",
    ("you", "pronoun"),

    ("thing", "noun"),
    "."
)

Parameters

The annotated_text() function accepts any number of the following arguments:

• strings, to draw the string as-is on the screen.
• tuples of the form (main_text, annotation_text, background, color) where background and foreground colors are optional and should be an CSS-valid string such as "#aabbcc" or "rgb(10, 20, 30)"
• htbuilder.HtmlElement objects in case you want to customize the annotations further. In particular, you can import the annotation() function from this module to easily produce annotations whose CSS you can customize via keyword arguments.
• lists of any of the above -- or of lists!
