styled_text

• Bump xml dependency to ^7.0.0 for compatibility with packages that require xml 7 (e.g. pdf / printing). Thanks to @mohanedy.

• Flutter 3.38 compatibility.

• Fixed a bug in asynchronous parsing of tag attributes - the last set of attributes "stuck" in nested tags. Thanks to @Mithos5r, @rambah and @Merlin1stHere.

• The constructors of some widgets and classes are now constant:
  • StyledText
  • CustomStyledText
  • StyledTextTagBase
  • StyledTextTag
  • StyledTextWidgetBuilderTag
  • StyledTextIconTag
  • StyledTextActionTag
  • StyledTextCustomTag

• Text parsing has been changed from asynchronous to synchronous. This fixes an issue with the StyledText widget resizing when text parsing is complete, which was causing problems in lists. To return asynchronous parsing, the async parameter has been added to the StyledText constructor. This change was made possible thanks to the help of @Maatteogekko.
• Require Flutter 3.16 and Dart 3.2.

• A new base widget, CustomStyledText, has been added that allows you to implement the construction of a RichText widget, for example, when using the AutoSizeText widget (thanks to @maeddin).

• A new parameter has been added to the builder signature of the StyledTextWidgetBuilderTag widget: textContent - the text content of the tag; thanks to @ThomasGysemans.

  Usage example:

  StyledText(
    text: "Famous equation: E=mc<sup>2</sup>",
    tags: {
      'sup': StyledTextWidgetBuilderTag(
        (_, attributes, textContent) {
          return Transform.translate(
            offset: const Offset(0.5, -4),
            child: Text(
              textContent ?? "",
              textScaleFactor: 0.85,
            ),
          );
        },
      ),
    },
  ),
