+tracksuite.print
+================
+
+Provides utilities for printing ecFlow node trees with state icons and formatting options.
+Supports raw, Markdown, and HTML output formats. Displays job output logs for tasks if available.
+
+Classes:
+    SuiteDisplay: Extracts and formats ecFlow node trees and associated logs.
+    Formatter: Abstract base class for output formatters.
+    RawFormatter: Formatter for plain text output.
+    MarkdownFormatter: Formatter for Markdown output.
+    HTMLFormatter: Formatter for HTML output.
+
+Functions:
+    get_state_icon(node): Returns a unicode icon for the ecFlow node state.
+    get_formatter(format_type): Returns a formatter instance for the given format type.
+    get_parser(): Returns an argument parser for the CLI.
