Dante is a text parser to easily generate a Spannable from a raw input, right now it supports only HTML but the idea is to be able to support multiple input types (e.g. MarkDown).

Originally I authored Dante in Pause, the project is now dead and I decided to open source it.

This is the very first release of Dante, the api will (most likely) change for the better with successive iterations.

Simply add the following to your build.gradle dependencies:

repositories {
  jcenter()
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.fourlastor:dante:0.0.1'
}

FlavoredHtml flavoredHtml = new FlavoredHtml.Builder(context)
  .newLine("p", "h1", "h2", "h3", "h4", "h5", "h6", "li")
  .textAppearance(R.style.headline, "h1")
  .textAppearance(R.style.title, "h2")
  .textAppearance(R.style.subhead, "h3")
  .textAppearance(R.style.body, "p", "li")
  .style(Typeface.BOLD, "b", "strong")
  .style(Typeface.ITALIC, "i", "em")
  .bullet(15, "li")
  .build();

Spanned styledHtml = flavoredHtml.parse(htmlString);

Keep in mind that if you don't set anyting, your spannable will have no styling, which means all your text will simply have the HTML tags stripped down!

As long as you implement Parser, it shouldn't be hard to support a different text style, see HtmlParser's implementation as a reference.
