## Stringify-text-formatter-config
Serialize `TextFormatterConfig` into JSON text. This helper is the highest-level export path when formatter config should be printed, logged, or copied as config text.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn stringify_text_formatter_config(
config : TextFormatterConfig,
pretty~ : Bool = false,
) -> String {}
```
#### input
- `config : TextFormatterConfig` - Formatter config to serialize.
- `pretty : Bool` - Whether JSON should be pretty-printed.
#### output
- `String` - Serialized JSON text for the formatter config.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- `pretty=false` returns compact JSON.
- `pretty=true` returns indented JSON for humans.
- This helper is built on top of `text_formatter_config_to_json(...)`.
- The output preserves the supported formatter config schema instead of any runtime-only formatter instance details.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Human-readable Formatter Config
When formatter settings should be inspected during setup:
```moonbit
println(stringify_text_formatter_config(default_text_formatter_config(), pretty=true))
```
In this example, the pretty output is suitable for diagnostics or docs.
#### When Need Compact Export Text
When generated config should stay small:
```moonbit
let text = stringify_text_formatter_config(
TextFormatterConfig::new(show_fields=false),
)
```
In this example, compact JSON is returned for storage or transport.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If callers need a JSON value for composition, they should use `text_formatter_config_to_json(...)` instead.
- If `style_tags` is empty, the serialized text omits that field rather than forcing an empty object.
