Usage ¶

There are two primary ways to use Dress up—as a command-line tool, or as Python library.

Command-line usage ¶

Ｈｅｌｌｏ

            ❯ dressup Vibes --type inverted
𐌡ıqǝs

See more options in the Command-line usage , or by running

❯ dressup --help

Autocompletion ¶

Dress up supports argument completions along with live previews. To enable autocompletion run.

            ❯ dressup --install-completion zsh
zsh completion installed in /Users/username/.zshrc.
Completion will take effect once you restart the terminal.

           

zsh may be replaced with bash , fish , powershell , or pwsh . Along with typical autocompletion, when typing in a value for --type if [TAB] is pressed the matching parameter values will be displayed below along with a preview of the conversion.

            ❯ dressup Words --type math [TAB]
math-bold              -- 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐬
math-bold-fraktur      -- 𝖂𝖔𝖗𝖉𝖘
math-bold-italic       -- 𝑾𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔
math-bold-script       -- 𝓦𝓸𝓻𝓭𝓼
math-double-struck     -- 𝕎𝕠𝕣𝕕𝕤
math-fraktur           -- 𝔚𝔬𝔯𝔡𝔰
math-monospace         -- 𝚆𝚘𝚛𝚍𝚜
math-sans              -- 𝖶𝗈𝗋𝖽𝗌
