How to display all tables as inline?

[zmitchell]

Let's say I have a table called foo and under that are other tables:

[foo]
[foo.entry1]
[foo.entry2]
etc

If I parse this and want to dump it back out so that all of the sub-tables are displayed as inline tables (shown below), how would I do that?

[foo]
entry1 = {}
entry2 = {}
etc

Currently, toml doesn't have much formatting control. Rather than bake-in control for each one off case (and becoming complex), I would instead encourage deserializing to a toml_edit::Document and using toml_edit::visit_mut to style the output as desired.

Ah, I think the missing piece here was that I didn't know the InlineTable type is represented with Item::Value(Value::InlineTable(_)) so I couldn't figure out how to represent an InlineTable with an Item. I figured this out looking at https://github.com/toml-rs/toml/blob/main/crates/toml_edit/examples/visit.rs.

P.S. - the link to examples/visit.rs on this page is broken.
