+## Text-formatter-config-to-formatter
+
+Convert a `TextFormatterConfig` into a runtime `TextFormatter` value. This helper is the main config-to-runtime bridge used by sync and async logger builder paths when serializable formatter settings should become a concrete formatter object.
+
+### Interface
+
+```moonbit
+pub fn TextFormatterConfig::to_formatter(self : TextFormatterConfig) -> TextFormatter {
+```
+
+#### input
+
+- `self : TextFormatterConfig` - Serializable formatter config to convert into a runtime formatter.
+
+#### output
+
+- `TextFormatter` - Runtime formatter built from the config fields.
+
+### Explanation
+
+Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
+
+- This helper forwards the stored visibility flags, separators, template, color settings, and markup settings into `text_formatter(...)`.
+- When `style_tags` is empty, the runtime formatter is built without a local style-tag registry.
+- When `style_tags` is non-empty, the config map is converted into a fresh `StyleTagRegistry` before formatter construction.
+- This conversion does not mutate the source config object.
+
+### How to Use
+
+Here are some specific examples provided.
+
+#### When Need A Runtime Formatter From Parsed Config
+
+When serializable formatter settings should become a real formatter for a sink or direct rendering:
+```moonbit
+let config = TextFormatterConfig::new(show_timestamp=false, template="[{level}] {message}")
+let formatter = config.to_formatter()
+```
+
+In this example, config data is converted into the runtime formatter object only when it is actually needed.
+
+#### When Need Builder-path Formatter Conversion
+
+When config-driven logger assembly should produce a text-console formatter:
+```moonbit
+let formatter = config.sink.text_formatter.to_formatter()
+```
+
+In this example, the same helper used by runtime builder code is called directly from user code.
+
+### Error Case
+
+e.g.:
+- This conversion itself does not have a normal failure mode; it only rehydrates config fields into a runtime formatter.
+
+- If callers want serializable config data rather than a runtime formatter, keep using `TextFormatterConfig` or its JSON helpers instead.
+
+### Notes
+
+1. Use this helper when serializable formatter config should become a concrete `TextFormatter`.
+
+2. Pair it with `text_formatter_config_to_json(...)` or `stringify_text_formatter_config(...)` when the same formatter policy must also be exported or persisted.
