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" }

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).
