| ## How to use LocatedSpan with my own input type? |
| |
| LocatedSpan has been designed to wrap any input type. By default it wraps `&str` and `&[u8]` but it should work with any other types. |
| |
| To do so, all you need is to ensure that your input type implements these traits: |
| - `nom::InputLength` |
| - `nom::Slice` |
| - `nom::InputIter` |
| - `nom::Compare` |
| - `nom::Offset` |
| - `nom::CompareResult` |
| - `nom::FindSubstring` |
| - `nom::ParseTo` |
| - `nom::AsBytes` |
| |
| And ensure that what represents a char in your input type implements `nom::FindToken`. |
| |
| Then you may use all the `impl_*` macros exposed by the library (see the [crate documentation](https://docs.rs/nom_locate/)). |
| |
| ## `get_column` is not accurate |
| |
| Your input probably doesn't have ASCII characters only. You'd probably better use `get_column_utf8` when your input is contains UTF-8 extensions, having in mind that it is much slower. |
