+# Rich console output, pretty printing and formatting
+
+If you want your script's console output to have colours and other formatting, check out [Rich](https://github.com/Textualize/rich).
+
+See also: A [video introduction to Rich](https://calmcode.io/rich/introduction.html) by calmcode.
+
+## Basic printing
+
+You can easily add colours, emojis and other formatting with basic tags using an [improved version of `print()`](https://github.com/Textualize/rich#rich-print):
+
+```python
+from rich import print
+
+print("Hello, [bold magenta]World[/bold magenta]! :vampire:")
+```
+
+Any variables you print also get nicer formatting and colour syntax highlighting.
+
+## Inspecting objects
+
+If you have an object with multiple attributes and methods, you can a nice overview of everything using [`rich.inspect()`](https://github.com/Textualize/rich#rich-inspect). I've used this quite a bit.
+
+```python
+from rich import inspect
+
+my_list = ["foo", "bar"]
+inspect(my_list, methods=True)
+```
+
+## Example
+
+Via the [Rich GitHub repo](https://github.com/Textualize/rich):
