Rich's default highlighter will highlight a number of common patterns, useful for debugging. Occasionally you may find that it highlights text incorrectly. This may be unavoidable, as Rich only sees text and can only make a best guess at what it means.

If this happens, consider disabling highlighting, or write a custom highlighter that better reflects the text you are writing. See the docs for details...

Issues and PRs for highlighters will only be accepted for clearly broken regular expressions. This is because a fix for your needs can break the highlighting for someone else.
