Language.Nix.PrettyPrinting

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

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.

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

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

Beside. <> is associative, with identity empty.

Either hcat or vcat.

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

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.

"Paragraph fill" version of cat.

first returns its first argument if it is non-empty, otherwise its second.

"Paragraph fill" version of sep.

The general rendering interface. Please refer to the Style and Mode types for a description of rendering mode, line length and ribbons.

List version of <>.

List version of <+>.

Returns True if the document is empty

Apply braces to Doc if boolean is true.

Apply brackets to Doc if boolean is true.

Apply doubleQuotes to Doc if boolean is true.

Apply parens to Doc if boolean is true.

Apply quotes to Doc if boolean is true.

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 x <> 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 <>.

Same as text. Used to be used for Bytestrings.

Perform some simplification of a built up GDoc.

Render the Doc to a String using the default Style (see style).

Render the Doc to a String using the given Style.

Either hsep or vcat.

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

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.

List version of $$.

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

The "normal" (Level 0) of detail.

Parenthesize an value if the boolean is true.

Pretty print a value with the prettyNormal level.

Rendering mode.

A rendering style. Allows us to specify constraints to choose among the many different rendering options.

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

Pretty printing class. The precedence level is used in a similar way as in the Show class. Minimal complete definition is either pPrintPrec or pPrint.

Level of detail in the pretty printed output. Level 0 is the least detail.
