Options

Set indent width:

pp.SetIndentWidth(4) // default: 2

Add file name and line information to output. Use it with care, because getting stack has performance penalty

pp.WithLineInfo(true) // default: false

Print struct fields with zero values:

pp.EmitEmpty() // to print
pp.OmitEmpty() // default. To skip

Custom colors

If you require, you may change the colors (all or some) for syntax highlighting:

// Create a struct describing your scheme
scheme := pp.ColorScheme{
	Integer:       pp.Green | pp.Bold,
	Float:         pp.Black | pp.BackgroundWhite | pp.Bold,
	String:        pp.Yellow,
}

// Register it for usage
pp.SetColorScheme(scheme)

Look into ColorScheme struct for the field names.

If you would like to revert to the default highlighting, you may do so by calling pp.ResetColorScheme().

Out of the following color flags, you may combine any color with a background color and optionally with the bold parameter. Please note that bold will likely not work on the windows platform.
