standard input.\n\nor more precise:  \n  \n`coating` reads lines from STDIN, allowing you to interactively select a value, which is then returned to STDOUT.\n\n![example_interaction](assets/example_interaction.gif)\n\n* coating enables interactive filters in piped commands\n* a unix-philosophy experiment\n* brings the mouse to the cli :)\n* a fzf inspired tool\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg width=80% src=\"https://github.com/Pieli/coating/blob/main/assets/demo.gif\" /\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\n**But, what does it do?**  \n- Every non-white space becomes a token\n- Every token will be possible element for selection\n- After a selection, the token will be returned through standard output\n\n## Usage\nHere are some examples, after the [installation step](#installation)  \n\nThis will open the selected file/directory of the current directory in vim:\n```sh\nvim $(ls -C | coating)\n```\n\nAnother possible usage is this:\n```sh\nls -C | coating | xargs xdg-open\n```\nThis opens the selected file with it's standard application.\n\nFor more ways to use `coating` check out the `examples` directory.  \n\n### Html Parser\n- when run with the `--tags` flag, coating will look for HTML tags (excluding semantics) and makes tag bodies clickable.\n- this function allows for a predefinition of clickable elements, in contrast to the default case, where every non-whitespace character is clickable\n- if the tags are nested, only the highest level of tags is clickable\n- in the case ther are no tags in the text, every word will be tokenized and clickable.\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n  \u003cimg width=70% src=\"https://github.com/Pieli/coating/blob/main/assets/ice-cream.gif\"
