Rendering markup and IRenderables to/inside strings

[perrylets]

Let's say I have this Panel:

new Panel($"Directory: {/*Theoretical TextPath*/}")

How would I be able to add a TextPath where the comment is? My guess is that the answer to this, should work on all IRenderables.

The easiest way to do this is to use a Grid:

AnsiConsole.Write(
    new Grid()
        .AddColumn(new GridColumn().PadRight(1))
        .AddColumn()
        .AddRow(
            new Markup("[yellow]Directory[/]:"),
            new TextPath("C:/temp/lol.txt")
        ));

It wouldn't support all Panel features, would it?

Yes, I see no reason why not. You can wrap the grid in a panel or use panels inside the row.

AnsiConsole.Write(
    new Panel(new Grid()
        .AddColumn(new GridColumn().PadRight(1))
        .AddColumn()
        .AddRow(
            new Markup("[yellow]Directory[/]:"),
            new TextPath("C:/temp/lol.txt")
        )));
