I want to overwrite how a particular type is displayed if my package is loaded, but only in the interactive REPL.
I found that I can overload display(d::Base.REPL.REPLDisplay, ...)
, but now I am a bit stuck without digging in Base code.
Right now I do the naive thing and just print("something")
in that function which has the desired effect, but I wonder if that may have some edgecases I did not consider. It also looks different than other output (the text in the first line isn’t bold)
I did try print(d, "something")
but that did not have the effect I expected.
Any pointers?
