String Formatter

Format strings with HTML-like tags (Unity's Rich Text) in LINQ fashion

Usage

// Without String Formatter
Debug.Log($"Player's name: <color=red><size=16><i><b>{name}</b></i></size></color>");

// With String Formatter
Debug.Log($"Player's name: {name.Bold().Italic().Size(16).Red()});

// Reuse
var nameFormat = new FormattedStringBuilder().Bold().Italic().Size(16).Red();
Debug.Log($"Player One name: {nameFormat.Appy(name1)});
Debug.Log($"Player Two name: {nameFormat.Appy(name2)});

// Extend
public static FormattedStringBuilder Dead(this FormattedStringBuilder source)
{
    source.Append("Player ");       // Add before string. Used for opening tags
    source.PushToEnd(" is dead!");  // Add after string. Used for closing tags
    
    return source.Bold().Italic();  // Also make string bold and italic
}
public static FormattedStringBuilder Dead(this string source) => new FormattedStringBuilder(source).Dead();
