SYNOPSIS

package Devel::Cover::Report::MyEditor;

my %Templates;

... template content ...
EOT

DESCRIPTION

This is an abstract base class for editor-specific coverage report modules (Vim, Nvim). It provides the shared report() method that constructs template variables and processes the editor-specific template.

Subclasses must implement:

template_name

Returns the template name (e.g., "vim", "nvim").

templates

Returns a hashref of template name to template content.

output_message

Returns the success message to display (receives output path as argument).
