Mitchell Hashimoto 15b8976d64 docs: extract inline code examples into standalone projects
Extract inline @code blocks from vt headers (size_report.h, modes.h,
sgr.h, paste.h, mouse.h, key.h) into standalone buildable examples
under example/. Each header now uses Doxygen @snippet tags to include
code from the example source files, keeping documentation in sync
with code that is verified to compile and run.

New example projects: c-vt-size-report and c-vt-modes. Existing
examples (c-vt-sgr, c-vt-paste, c-vt-mouse-encode, c-vt-key-encode)
gain snippet markers so their code can be referenced from the headers.
Conceptual snippets in key.h, mouse.h, and key/encoder.h that show
terminal-state usage patterns remain inline since they cannot be
compiled standalone.

Example: ghostty-vt SGR Parser

This contains a simple example of how to use the ghostty-vt SGR parser to parse terminal styling sequences and extract text attributes.

This example demonstrates parsing a complex SGR sequence from Kakoune that includes curly underline, RGB foreground/background colors, and RGB underline color with mixed semicolon and colon separators.

This uses a build.zig and Zig to build the C program so that we can reuse a lot of our build logic and depend directly on our source tree, but Ghostty emits a standard C library that can be used with any C tooling.

Usage

Run the program:

zig build run
