Description

The default interface to the pretty-printing library. Provides a collection of pretty printer combinators.

This module should be used as opposed to the Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ module. Both are equivalent though as this module simply re-exports the other.

# The document type

data Doc

The abstract type of documents. A Doc represents a *set* of layouts. A Doc with no occurrences of Union or NoDoc represents just one layout.

Instances

Show Doc |
IsString Doc |
Monoid Doc |

# Constructing documents

## Converting values into documents

char :: Char -> Doc

A document of height and width 1, containing a literal character.

text :: String -> Doc

A document of height 1 containing a literal string. `text` satisfies the following laws:

-     text s <> text t = text (s++t)

- ``text` "" `<>` x = x`, if `x` non-empty

The side condition on the last law is necessary because ``text` ""` has height 1, while `empty` has no height.

ptext :: String -> Doc

Same as `text`. Used to be used for Bytestrings.

sizedText :: Int -> String -> Doc

Some text with any width. (`text s = sizedText (length s) s`)

zeroWidthText :: String -> Doc

Some text, but without any width. Use for non-printing text such as a HTML or Latex tags

int

Arguments

:: Int |
-> Doc |
    int n = text (show n)

integer

Arguments

:: Integer |
-> Doc |
    integer n = text (show n)

float

Arguments

:: Float |
-> Doc |
    float n = text (show n)

double

Arguments

:: Double |
-> Doc |
    double n = text (show n)

rational

Arguments

:: Rational |
-> Doc |
    rational n = text (show n)

## Simple derived documents

semi

Arguments

:: Doc | A ';' character

comma

Arguments

:: Doc | A ',' character

colon

Arguments

:: Doc | A `:` character

space

Arguments

:: Doc | A space character

equals

Arguments

:: Doc | A '=' character

lparen

Arguments

:: Doc | A '(' character

rparen

Arguments

:: Doc | A ')' character

lbrack

Arguments

:: Doc | A '[' character

rbrack

Arguments

:: Doc | A ']' character

lbrace

Arguments

:: Doc | A '{' character

rbrace

Arguments

:: Doc | A '}' character

## Wrapping documents in delimiters

parens

Arguments

:: Doc |
-> Doc | Wrap document in `(...)`

brackets

Arguments

:: Doc |
-> Doc | Wrap document in `[...]`

braces

Arguments

:: Doc |
-> Doc | Wrap document in `{...}`

quotes

Arguments

:: Doc |
-> Doc | Wrap document in `'...'`

doubleQuotes

Arguments

:: Doc |
-> Doc | Wrap document in `"..."`

## Combining documents

empty :: Doc

The empty document, with no height and no width. `empty` is the identity for `<>`, `<+>`, `$$` and `$+$`, and anywhere in the argument list for `sep`, `hcat`, `hsep`, `vcat`, `fcat` etc.

(<>) :: Doc -> Doc -> Doc infixl 6

Beside. `<>` is associative, with identity `empty`.

(<+>) :: Doc -> Doc -> Doc infixl 6

Beside, separated by space, unless one of the arguments is `empty`. `<+>` is associative, with identity `empty`.

hcat :: [Doc] -> Doc

List version of `<>`.

hsep :: [Doc] -> Doc

List version of `<+>`.

($$) :: Doc -> Doc -> Doc infixl 5

Above, except that if the last line of the first argument stops at least one position before the first line of the second begins, these two lines are overlapped. For example:

       text "hi" $$ nest 5 (text "there")

lays out as

       hi   there

rather than

       hi
            there

`$$` is associative, with identity `empty`, and also satisfies

- `(x `$$` y) `<>` z = x `$$` (y `<>` z)`, if `y` non-empty.

($+$) :: Doc -> Doc -> Doc infixl 5

Above, with no overlapping. `$+$` is associative, with identity `empty`.

vcat :: [Doc] -> Doc

List version of `$$`.

sep :: [Doc] -> Doc

Either `hsep` or `vcat`.

cat :: [Doc] -> Doc

Either `hcat` or `vcat`.

fsep :: [Doc] -> Doc

"Paragraph fill" version of `sep`.

fcat :: [Doc] -> Doc

"Paragraph fill" version of `cat`.

nest :: Int -> Doc -> Doc

Nest (or indent) a document by a given number of positions (which may also be negative). `nest` satisfies the laws:

-     nest 0 x = x

-     nest k (nest k' x) = nest (k+k') x

-     nest k (x <> y) = nest k z <> nest k y

-     nest k (x $$ y) = nest k x $$ nest k y

-     nest k empty = empty

- `x `<>` `nest` k y = x `<>` y`, if `x` non-empty

The side condition on the last law is needed because `empty` is a left identity for `<>`.

hang :: Doc -> Int -> Doc -> Doc

    hang d1 n d2 = sep [d1, nest n d2]

punctuate :: Doc -> [Doc] -> [Doc]

    punctuate p [d1, ... dn] = [d1 <> p, d2 <> p, ... dn-1 <> p, dn]

# Predicates on documents

isEmpty :: Doc -> Bool

Returns `True` if the document is empty

# Rendering documents

## Default rendering

render :: Doc -> String

Render the `Doc` to a String using the default `Style`.

## Rendering with a particular style

data Style

A rendering style.

Constructors

Style |
Fields mode :: Mode The rendering mode lineLength :: Int Length of line, in chars ribbonsPerLine :: Float Ratio of ribbon length to line length

style :: Style

The default style (`mode=PageMode, lineLength=100, ribbonsPerLine=1.5`).

renderStyle :: Style -> Doc -> String

Render the `Doc` to a String using the given `Style`.

## General rendering

fullRender

Arguments

:: Mode | Rendering mode
-> Int | Line length
-> Float | Ribbons per line
-> (TextDetails -> a -> a) | What to do with text
-> a | What to do at the end
-> Doc | The document
-> a | Result

The general rendering interface.

data Mode

Rendering mode.

Constructors

PageMode | Normal
ZigZagMode | With zig-zag cuts
LeftMode | No indentation, infinitely long lines
OneLineMode | All on one line

data TextDetails

The TextDetails data type

A TextDetails represents a fragment of text that will be output at some point.

Constructors

Chr !Char | A single Char fragment
Str String | A whole String fragment
PStr String | Used to represent a Fast String fragment but now deprecated and identical to the Str constructor.
