NAME
       Devel::Cover::Base::Editor - Base class for editor coverage report
       backends

VERSION
       version 1.52

SYNOPSIS
        package Devel::Cover::Report::MyEditor;
        use parent "Devel::Cover::Base::Editor";

        my %Templates;
        $Templates{myeditor} = <<'EOT';
        ... template content ...
        EOT

        sub template_name   { "myeditor" }
        sub templates       { \%Templates }
        sub output_message ($self, $out) { "MyEditor script written to $out" }

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).
