# Unstable features

Rustdoc is under active development, and like the Rust compiler, some features are only available
on nightly releases. Some of these features are new and need some more testing before they're able to be
released to the world at large, and some of them are tied to features in the Rust compiler that are unstable. Several features here require a matching `#![feature(...)]` attribute to
enable, and thus are more fully documented in the [Unstable Book]. Those sections will link over
there as necessary.

[Unstable Book]: ../unstable-book/index.html

## Nightly-gated functionality

These features just require a nightly build to operate. Unlike the other features on this page,
these don't need to be "turned on" with a command-line flag or a `#![feature(...)]` attribute in
your crate. This can give them some subtle fallback modes when used on a stable release, so be
careful!

### Error numbers for `compile-fail` doctests

As detailed in [the chapter on documentation tests][doctest-attributes], you can add a
`compile_fail` attribute to a doctest to state that the test should fail to compile. However, on
nightly, you can optionally add an error number to state that a doctest should emit a specific error
number:

[doctest-attributes]: write-documentation/documentation-tests.html#attributes

``````markdown
```compile_fail,E0044
extern { fn some_func<T>(x: T); }
```
``````

This is used by the error index to ensure that the samples that correspond to a given error number
properly emit that error code. However, these error codes aren't guaranteed to be the only thing
that a piece of code emits from version to version, so this is unlikely to be stabilized in the
future.

Attempting to use these error numbers on stable will result in the code sample being interpreted as
plain text.

### `missing_doc_code_examples` lint

This lint will emit a warning if an item doesn't have a code example in its documentation.
It can be enabled using:

```rust,ignore (nightly)
#![deny(rustdoc::missing_doc_code_examples)]
```

It is not emitted for items that cannot be instantiated/called such as fields, variants, modules,
associated trait/impl items, impl blocks, statics and constants.
It is also not emitted for foreign items, aliases, extern crates and imports.

## Extensions to the `#[doc]` attribute

These features operate by extending the `#[doc]` attribute, and thus can be caught by the compiler
and enabled with a `#![feature(...)]` attribute in your crate.

### `#[doc(cfg)]`: Recording what platforms or features are required for code to be present

 * Tracking issue: [#43781](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/43781)

You can use `#[doc(cfg(...))]` to tell Rustdoc exactly which platform items appear on.
This has two effects:

1. doctests will only run on the appropriate platforms, and
2. When Rustdoc renders documentation for that item, it will be accompanied by a banner explaining
   that the item is only available on certain platforms.

`#[doc(cfg)]` is intended to be used alongside [`#[cfg(doc)]`][cfg-doc].
For example, `#[cfg(any(windows, doc))]` will preserve the item either on Windows or during the
documentation process. Then, adding a new attribute `#[doc(cfg(windows))]` will tell Rustdoc that
the item is supposed to be used on Windows. For example:

```rust
#![feature(doc_cfg)]

/// Token struct that can only be used on Windows.
#[cfg(any(windows, doc))]
#[doc(cfg(windows))]
pub struct WindowsToken;

/// Token struct that can only be used on Unix.
#[cfg(any(unix, doc))]
#[doc(cfg(unix))]
pub struct UnixToken;

/// Token struct that is only available with the `serde` feature
#[cfg(feature = "serde")]
#[doc(cfg(feature = "serde"))]
#[derive(serde::Deserialize)]
pub struct SerdeToken;
```

In this sample, the tokens will only appear on their respective platforms, but they will both appear
in documentation.

`#[doc(cfg(...))]` was introduced to be used by the standard library and currently requires the
`#![feature(doc_cfg)]` feature gate. For more information, see [its chapter in the Unstable
Book][unstable-doc-cfg] and [its tracking issue][issue-doc-cfg].

### `doc_auto_cfg`: Automatically generate `#[doc(cfg)]`

 * Tracking issue: [#43781](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/43781)

`doc_auto_cfg` is an extension to the `#[doc(cfg)]` feature. With it, you don't need to add
`#[doc(cfg(...)]` anymore unless you want to override the default behaviour. So if we take the
previous source code:

```rust
#![feature(doc_auto_cfg)]

/// Token struct that can only be used on Windows.
#[cfg(any(windows, doc))]
pub struct WindowsToken;

/// Token struct that can only be used on Unix.
#[cfg(any(unix, doc))]
pub struct UnixToken;

/// Token struct that is only available with the `serde` feature
#[cfg(feature = "serde")]
#[derive(serde::Deserialize)]
pub struct SerdeToken;
```

It'll render almost the same, the difference being that `doc` will also be displayed. To fix this,
you can use `doc_cfg_hide`:

```rust
#![feature(doc_cfg_hide)]
#![doc(cfg_hide(doc))]
```

And `doc` won't show up anymore!

### Adding your trait to the "Notable traits" dialog

 * Tracking issue: [#45040](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/45040)

Rustdoc keeps a list of a few traits that are believed to be "fundamental" to
types that implement them. These traits are intended to be the primary interface
for their implementers, and are often most of the API available to be documented
on their types. For this reason, Rustdoc will track when a given type implements
one of these traits and call special attention to it when a function returns one
of these types. This is the "Notable traits" dialog, accessible as a circled `i`
button next to the function, which, when clicked, shows the dialog.

In the standard library, some of the traits that are part of this list are
`Iterator`, `Future`, `io::Read`, and `io::Write`. However, rather than being
implemented as a hard-coded list, these traits have a special marker attribute
on them: `#[doc(notable_trait)]`. This means that you can apply this attribute
to your own trait to include it in the "Notable traits" dialog in documentation.

The `#[doc(notable_trait)]` attribute currently requires the `#![feature(doc_notable_trait)]`
feature gate. For more information, see [its chapter in the Unstable Book][unstable-notable_trait]
and [its tracking issue][issue-notable_trait].

[unstable-notable_trait]: ../unstable-book/language-features/doc-notable-trait.html
[issue-notable_trait]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/45040

### Exclude certain dependencies from documentation

 * Tracking issue: [#44027](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44027)

The standard library uses several dependencies which, in turn, use several types and traits from the
standard library. In addition, there are several compiler-internal crates that are not considered to
be part of the official standard library, and thus would be a distraction to include in
documentation. It's not enough to exclude their crate documentation, since information about trait
implementations appears on the pages for both the type and the trait, which can be in different
crates!

To prevent internal types from being included in documentation, the standard library adds an
attribute to their `extern crate` declarations: `#[doc(masked)]`. This causes Rustdoc to "mask out"
types from these crates when building lists of trait implementations.

The `#[doc(masked)]` attribute is intended to be used internally, and requires the
`#![feature(doc_masked)]` feature gate.  For more information, see [its chapter in the Unstable
Book][unstable-masked] and [its tracking issue][issue-masked].

[unstable-masked]: ../unstable-book/language-features/doc-masked.html
[issue-masked]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44027

### Document primitives

This is for Rust compiler internal use only.

Since primitive types are defined in the compiler, there's no place to attach documentation
attributes. The `#[rustc_doc_primitive = "..."]` attribute is used by the standard library to
provide a way to generate documentation for primitive types, and requires `#![feature(rustc_attrs)]`
to enable.

### Document keywords

This is for Rust compiler internal use only.

Rust keywords are documented in the standard library (look for `match` for example).

To do so, the `#[doc(keyword = "...")]` attribute is used. Example:

```rust
#![feature(rustdoc_internals)]
#![allow(internal_features)]

/// Some documentation about the keyword.
#[doc(keyword = "break")]
mod empty_mod {}
```

### Use the Rust logo as the crate logo

This is for official Rust project use only.

Internal Rustdoc pages like settings.html and scrape-examples-help.html show the Rust logo.
This logo is tracked as a static resource. The attribute `#![doc(rust_logo)]` makes this same
built-in resource act as the main logo.

```rust
#![feature(rustdoc_internals)]
#![allow(internal_features)]
#![doc(rust_logo)]
//! This crate has the Rust(tm) branding on it.
```

## Effects of other nightly features

These nightly-only features are not primarily related to Rustdoc,
but have convenient effects on the documentation produced.

### `fundamental` types

Annotating a type with `#[fundamental]` primarily influences coherence rules about generic types,
i.e., they alter whether other crates can provide implementations for that type.
The unstable book [links to further information][unstable-fundamental].

[unstable-fundamental]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/unstable-book/language-features/fundamental.html

For documentation, this has an additional side effect:
If a method is implemented on `F<T>` (or `F<&T>`),
where `F` is a fundamental type,
then the method is not only documented at the page about `F`,
but also on the page about `T`.
In a sense, it makes the type transparent to Rustdoc.
This is especially convenient for types that work as annotated pointers,
such as `Pin<&mut T>`,
as it ensures that methods only implemented through those annotated pointers
can still be found with the type they act on.

If the `fundamental` feature's effect on coherence is not intended,
such a type can be marked as fundamental only for purposes of documentation
by introducing a custom feature and
limiting the use of `fundamental` to when documentation is built.

## Unstable command-line arguments

These features are enabled by passing a command-line flag to Rustdoc, but the flags in question are
themselves marked as unstable. To use any of these options, pass `-Z unstable-options` as well as
the flag in question to Rustdoc on the command-line. To do this from Cargo, you can either use the
`RUSTDOCFLAGS` environment variable or the `cargo rustdoc` command.

### `--markdown-before-content`: include rendered Markdown before the content

 * Tracking issue: [#44027](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44027)

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --markdown-before-content extra.md
$ rustdoc README.md -Z unstable-options --markdown-before-content extra.md
```

Just like `--html-before-content`, this allows you to insert extra content inside the `<body>` tag
but before the other content `rustdoc` would normally produce in the rendered documentation.
However, instead of directly inserting the file verbatim, `rustdoc` will pass the files through a
Markdown renderer before inserting the result into the file.

### `--markdown-after-content`: include rendered Markdown after the content

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --markdown-after-content extra.md
$ rustdoc README.md -Z unstable-options --markdown-after-content extra.md
```

Just like `--html-after-content`, this allows you to insert extra content before the `</body>` tag
but after the other content `rustdoc` would normally produce in the rendered documentation.
However, instead of directly inserting the file verbatim, `rustdoc` will pass the files through a
Markdown renderer before inserting the result into the file.

### `--playground-url`: control the location of the playground

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --playground-url https://play.rust-lang.org/
```

When rendering a crate's docs, this flag gives the base URL of the Rust Playground, to use for
generating `Run` buttons. Unlike `--markdown-playground-url`, this argument works for standalone
Markdown files *and* Rust crates. This works the same way as adding `#![doc(html_playground_url =
"url")]` to your crate root, as mentioned in [the chapter about the `#[doc]`
attribute][doc-playground]. Please be aware that the official Rust Playground at
https://play.rust-lang.org does not have every crate available, so if your examples require your
crate, make sure the playground you provide has your crate available.

[doc-playground]: write-documentation/the-doc-attribute.html#html_playground_url

If both `--playground-url` and `--markdown-playground-url` are present when rendering a standalone
Markdown file, the URL given to `--markdown-playground-url` will take precedence. If both
`--playground-url` and `#![doc(html_playground_url = "url")]` are present when rendering crate docs,
the attribute will take precedence.

## `--sort-modules-by-appearance`: control how items on module pages are sorted

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --sort-modules-by-appearance
```

Ordinarily, when `rustdoc` prints items in module pages, it will sort them alphabetically (taking
some consideration for their stability, and names that end in a number). Giving this flag to
`rustdoc` will disable this sorting and instead make it print the items in the order they appear in
the source.

## `--show-type-layout`: add a section to each type's docs describing its memory layout

* Tracking issue: [#113248](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/113248)

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --show-type-layout
```

When this flag is passed, rustdoc will add a "Layout" section at the bottom of
each type's docs page that includes a summary of the type's memory layout as
computed by rustc. For example, rustdoc will show the size in bytes that a value
of that type will take in memory.

Note that most layout information is **completely unstable** and may even differ
between compilations.

## `--resource-suffix`: modifying the name of CSS/JavaScript in crate docs

 * Tracking issue: [#54765](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54765)

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --resource-suffix suf
```

When rendering docs, `rustdoc` creates several CSS and JavaScript files as part of the output. Since
all these files are linked from every page, changing where they are can be cumbersome if you need to
specially cache them. This flag will rename all these files in the output to include the suffix in
the filename. For example, `light.css` would become `light-suf.css` with the above command.

## `--extern-html-root-url`: control how rustdoc links to non-local crates

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --extern-html-root-url some-crate=https://example.com/some-crate/1.0.1
```

Ordinarily, when rustdoc wants to link to a type from a different crate, it looks in two places:
docs that already exist in the output directory, or the `#![doc(doc_html_root)]` set in the other
crate. However, if you want to link to docs that exist in neither of those places, you can use these
flags to control that behavior. When the `--extern-html-root-url` flag is given with a name matching
one of your dependencies, rustdoc use that URL for those docs. Keep in mind that if those docs exist
in the output directory, those local docs will still override this flag.

## `-Z force-unstable-if-unmarked`

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z force-unstable-if-unmarked
```

This is an internal flag intended for the standard library and compiler that applies an
`#[unstable]` attribute to any dependent crate that doesn't have another stability attribute. This
allows `rustdoc` to be able to generate documentation for the compiler crates and the standard
library, as an equivalent command-line argument is provided to `rustc` when building those crates.

## `--index-page`: provide a top-level landing page for docs

This feature allows you to generate an index-page with a given markdown file. A good example of it
is the [rust documentation index](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/index.html).

With this, you'll have a page which you can customize as much as you want at the top of your crates.

Using `index-page` option enables `enable-index-page` option as well.

## `--enable-index-page`: generate a default index page for docs

This feature allows the generation of a default index-page which lists the generated crates.

## `--nocapture`: disable output capture for test

When this flag is used with `--test`, the output (stdout and stderr) of your tests won't be
captured by rustdoc. Instead, the output will be directed to your terminal,
as if you had run the test executable manually. This is especially useful
for debugging your tests!

## `--check`: only checks the documentation

When this flag is supplied, rustdoc will type check and lint your code, but will not generate any
documentation or run your doctests.

Using this flag looks like:

```bash
rustdoc -Z unstable-options --check src/lib.rs
```

## `--static-root-path`: control how static files are loaded in HTML output

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --static-root-path '/cache/'
```

This flag controls how rustdoc links to its static files on HTML pages. If you're hosting a lot of
crates' docs generated by the same version of rustdoc, you can use this flag to cache rustdoc's CSS,
JavaScript, and font files in a single location, rather than duplicating it once per "doc root"
(grouping of crate docs generated into the same output directory, like with `cargo doc`). Per-crate
files like the search index will still load from the documentation root, but anything that gets
renamed with `--resource-suffix` will load from the given path.

## `--persist-doctests`: persist doctest executables after running

 * Tracking issue: [#56925](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/56925)

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --test -Z unstable-options --persist-doctests target/rustdoctest
```

This flag allows you to keep doctest executables around after they're compiled or run.
Usually, rustdoc will immediately discard a compiled doctest after it's been tested, but
with this option, you can keep those binaries around for farther testing.

## `--show-coverage`: calculate the percentage of items with documentation

 * Tracking issue: [#58154](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/58154)

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --show-coverage
```

It generates something like this:

```bash
+-------------------------------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| File                                | Documented | Percentage |   Examples | Percentage |
+-------------------------------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| lib.rs                              |          4 |     100.0% |          1 |      25.0% |
+-------------------------------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
| Total                               |          4 |     100.0% |          1 |      25.0% |
+-------------------------------------+------------+------------+------------+------------+
```

If you want to determine how many items in your crate are documented, pass this flag to rustdoc.
When it receives this flag, it will count the public items in your crate that have documentation,
and print out the counts and a percentage instead of generating docs.

Some methodology notes about what rustdoc counts in this metric:

* Rustdoc will only count items from your crate (i.e. items re-exported from other crates don't
  count).
* Docs written directly onto inherent impl blocks are not counted, even though their doc comments
  are displayed, because the common pattern in Rust code is to write all inherent methods into the
  same impl block.
* Items in a trait implementation are not counted, as those impls will inherit any docs from the
  trait itself.
* By default, only public items are counted. To count private items as well, pass
  `--document-private-items` at the same time.

Public items that are not documented can be seen with the built-in `missing_docs` lint. Private
items that are not documented can be seen with Clippy's `missing_docs_in_private_items` lint.

Calculating code examples follows these rules:

1. These items aren't accounted by default:
  * struct/union field
  * enum variant
  * constant
  * static
  * typedef
2. If one of the previously listed items has a code example, then it'll be counted.

### JSON output

When using `--output-format json` with this option, it will display the coverage information in
JSON format. For example, here is the JSON for a file with one documented item and one
undocumented item:

```rust
/// This item has documentation
pub fn foo() {}

pub fn no_documentation() {}
```

```json
{"no_std.rs":{"total":3,"with_docs":1,"total_examples":3,"with_examples":0}}
```

Note that the third item is the crate root, which in this case is undocumented.

If you want the JSON output to be displayed on `stdout` instead of having a file generated, you can
use `-o -`.

## `-w`/`--output-format`: output format

`--output-format json` emits documentation in the experimental
[JSON format](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustdoc_json_types/). `--output-format html` has no effect,
and is also accepted on stable toolchains.

JSON Output for toolchain crates (`std`, `alloc`, `core`, `test`, and `proc_macro`)
is available via the `rust-docs-json` rustup component.

```shell
rustup component add --toolchain nightly rust-docs-json
```

Then the json files will be present in the `share/doc/rust/json/` directory
of the rustup toolchain directory.

It can also be used with `--show-coverage`. Take a look at its
[documentation](#--show-coverage-calculate-the-percentage-of-items-with-documentation) for more
information.

## `--enable-per-target-ignores`: allow `ignore-foo` style filters for doctests

 * Tracking issue: [#64245](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64245)

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --enable-per-target-ignores
```

This flag allows you to tag doctests with compiletest style `ignore-foo` filters that prevent
rustdoc from running that test if the target triple string contains foo. For example:

```rust
///```ignore-foo,ignore-bar
///assert!(2 == 2);
///```
struct Foo;
```

This will not be run when the build target is `super-awesome-foo` or `less-bar-awesome`.
If the flag is not enabled, then rustdoc will consume the filter, but do nothing with it, and
the above example will be run for all targets.
If you want to preserve backwards compatibility for older versions of rustdoc, you can use

```rust
///```ignore,ignore-foo
///assert!(2 == 2);
///```
struct Foo;
```

In older versions, this will be ignored on all targets, but on newer versions `ignore-gnu` will
override `ignore`.

## `--runtool`, `--runtool-arg`: program to run tests with; args to pass to it

 * Tracking issue: [#64245](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64245)

Using these options looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --runtool runner --runtool-arg --do-thing --runtool-arg --do-other-thing
```

These options can be used to run the doctest under a program, and also pass arguments to
that program. For example, if you want to run your doctests under valgrind you might run

```bash
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --runtool valgrind
```

Another use case would be to run a test inside an emulator, or through a Virtual Machine.

## `--with-examples`: include examples of uses of items as documentation

 * Tracking issue: [#88791](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/88791)

This option, combined with `--scrape-examples-target-crate` and
`--scrape-examples-output-path`, is used to implement the functionality in [RFC
#3123](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3123). Uses of an item (currently
functions / call-sites) are found in a crate and its reverse-dependencies, and
then the uses are included as documentation for that item. This feature is
intended to be used via `cargo doc --scrape-examples`, but the rustdoc-only
workflow looks like:

```bash
$ rustdoc examples/ex.rs -Z unstable-options \
    --extern foobar=target/deps/libfoobar.rmeta \
    --scrape-examples-target-crate foobar \
    --scrape-examples-output-path output.calls
$ rustdoc src/lib.rs -Z unstable-options --with-examples output.calls
```

First, the library must be checked to generate an `rmeta`. Then a
reverse-dependency like `examples/ex.rs` is given to rustdoc with the target
crate being documented (`foobar`) and a path to output the calls
(`output.calls`). Then, the generated calls file can be passed via
`--with-examples` to the subsequent documentation of `foobar`.

To scrape examples from test code, e.g. functions marked `#[test]`, then
add the `--scrape-tests` flag.

## `--generate-link-to-definition`: Generate links on types in source code

 * Tracking issue: [#89095](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/89095)

This flag enables the generation of links in the source code pages which allow the reader
to jump to a type definition.

### `--test-builder`: `rustc`-like program to build tests

 * Tracking issue: [#102981](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/102981)

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc --test-builder /path/to/rustc src/lib.rs
```

Rustdoc will use the provided program to compile tests instead of the default `rustc` program from
the sysroot.

### `--test-builder-wrapper`: wrap calls to the test builder

 * Tracking issue: [#102981](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/102981)

Using this flag looks like this:

```bash
$ rustdoc -Zunstable-options --test-builder-wrapper /path/to/rustc-wrapper src/lib.rs
$ rustdoc -Zunstable-options \
    --test-builder-wrapper rustc-wrapper1 \
    --test-builder-wrapper rustc-wrapper2 \
    --test-builder rustc \
    src/lib.rs
```

Similar to cargo `build.rustc-wrapper` option, this flag takes a `rustc` wrapper program.
The first argument to the program will be the test builder program.

This flag can be passed multiple times to nest wrappers.

## Passing arguments to rustc when compiling doctests

You can use the `--doctest-compilation-args` flag if you want to add options when compiling the
doctest. For example if you have:

```rust,no_run
/// ```
/// #![deny(warnings)]
/// #![feature(async_await)]
///
/// let x = 12;
/// ```
pub struct Bar;
```

And you run `rustdoc --test` on it, you will get:

```console
running 1 test
test foo.rs - Bar (line 1) ... FAILED

failures:

---- foo.rs - Bar (line 1) stdout ----
error: the feature `async_await` has been stable since 1.39.0 and no longer requires an attribute to enable
 --> foo.rs:2:12
  |
3 | #![feature(async_await)]
  |            ^^^^^^^^^^^
  |
note: the lint level is defined here
 --> foo.rs:1:9
  |
2 | #![deny(warnings)]
  |         ^^^^^^^^
  = note: `#[deny(stable_features)]` implied by `#[deny(warnings)]`

error: aborting due to 1 previous error

Couldn't compile the test.

failures:
    foo.rs - Bar (line 1)

test result: FAILED. 0 passed; 1 failed; 0 ignored; 0 measured; 0 filtered out; finished in 0.03s
```

But if you can limit the lint level to warning by using `--doctest_compilation_args=--cap-lints=warn`:

```console
$ rustdoc --test --doctest_compilation_args=--cap-lints=warn file.rs

running 1 test
test tests/rustdoc-ui/doctest/rustflags.rs - Bar (line 5) ... ok

The parsing of arguments works as follows: if it encounters a `"` or a `'`, it will continue
until it finds the character unescaped (without a prepending `\`). If not inside a string, a
whitespace character will also split arguments. Example:

```text
"hello 'a'\" ok" how are   'you today?'
```

will be split as follows:

```text
[
    "hello 'a'\" ok",
    "how",
    "are",
    "you today?",
]
```
