what does this do in ank: kotlinankreplace

[raulraja]

Replaces the current snippet with its output

[Imran/Malic]

Thanks. Are both implementation coherent https://github.com/arrow-kt/ank/blob/master/ank-core/src/main/kotlin/arrow/ank/interpreter.kt

https://github.com/arrow-kt/arrow/blob/master/modules/ank/arrow-ank/src/main/kotlin/arrow/ank/interpreter.kt

Because I can't see this in the first one:

kotlin
const val AnkBlock = ":ank"
const val AnkSilentBlock = ":ank:silent"
const val AnkReplaceBlock = ":ank:replace"
const val AnkOutFileBlock = ":ank:outFile"
const val AnkPlayground = ":ank:playground"
const val AnkFailBlock = ":ank:fail"
const val AnkPlaygroundExtension = ":ank:playground:extension"

[Imran/Malic]

Is this right?

markdown
kotlin:ank -> executes the snippet
    kotlin:ank:silent -> does not display the output of the snippet
    kotlin:ank:replace -> replaces the current snippet with its output
    kotlin:ank:fail -> this snippet will pass the gradle task and the stacktrace is displayable
    kotlin:ank:playground ->(
        with //sampleStart and //sampleEnd one specifies the displayable field.
        The rest can be expanded by the viewer:
    ).`example`{
    ```kotlin:ank:playground
        //sampleStart
        fun helloWorld(): String = "Hello World"
        //sampleEnd
        fun main() {
            println(helloWorld())
        }

}
kotlinankoutFile ??
kotlinankplayground:extension ??
```

the ank repo is deprecated

[raulraja]

I'm gonna remove it

[raulraja]

ank lives now in Arrow until 1.0

[raulraja]

just archived the old repo so there is no confusion

[Imran/Malic]

Ok. What does kotlinankoutFile and kotlinankplayground:extension do?
