Synopsis

Documents, parametrized by their annotations

data Doc a Source #

The abstract data type Doc a represents pretty documents.

Doc a is an instance of the Show class. (show doc) pretty prints document doc with a page width of 100 characters and a ribbon width of 40 characters.

show (text "hello" <$> text "world")

Which would return the string "hello\nworld", i.e.

hello
world

Methods

fromString :: String -> Doc a

putDoc :: Doc a -> IO () Source #

The action (putDoc doc) pretty prints document doc to the standard output, with a page width of 100 characters and a ribbon width of 40 characters.

main :: IO ()
main = do{ putDoc (text "hello" <+> text "world") }

Which would output

hello world

hPutDoc :: Handle -> Doc a -> IO () Source #

(hPutDoc handle doc) pretty prints document doc to the file handle handle with a page width of 100 characters and a ribbon width of 40 characters.

main = do{ handle <- openFile "MyFile" WriteMode
         ; hPutDoc handle (vcat (map text
                           ["vertical","text"]))
         ; hClose handle
         }

Basic combinators

empty :: Doc a Source #

The empty document is, indeed, empty. Although empty has no content, it does have a 'height' of 1 and behaves exactly like (text "") (and is therefore not a unit of <$>).

char :: Char -> Doc a Source #

The document (char c) contains the literal character c. The character shouldn't be a newline ('n'), the function line should be used for line breaks.

text :: String -> Doc a Source #

The document (text s) contains the literal string s. The string shouldn't contain any newline ('n') characters. If the string contains newline characters, the function string should be used.

(<>) :: Doc a -> Doc a -> Doc a infixr 6 Source #

The document (x <> y) concatenates document x and document y. It is an associative operation having empty as a left and right unit. (infixr 6)

nest :: Int -> Doc a -> Doc a Source #

The document (nest i x) renders document x with the current indentation level increased by i (See also hang, align and indent).

nest 2 (text "hello" <$> text "world") <$> text "!"

outputs as:

hello
  world
!

line :: Doc a Source #

The line document advances to the next line and indents to the current nesting level. Doc aument line behaves like (text " ") if the line break is undone by group.

linebreak :: Doc a Source #

The linebreak document advances to the next line and indents to the current nesting level. Document linebreak behaves like empty if the line break is undone by group.

group :: Doc a -> Doc a Source #

The group combinator is used to specify alternative layouts. The document (group x) undoes all line breaks in document x. The resulting line is added to the current line if that fits the page. Otherwise, the document x is rendered without any changes.

softline :: Doc a Source #

The document softline behaves like space if the resulting output fits the page, otherwise it behaves like line.

softline = group line

softbreak :: Doc a Source #

The document softbreak behaves like empty if the resulting output fits the page, otherwise it behaves like line.

softbreak  = group linebreak

Alignment

align :: Doc a -> Doc a Source #

The document (align x) renders document x with the nesting level set to the current column. It is used for example to implement hang.

As an example, we will put a document right above another one, regardless of the current nesting level:

x $$ y  = align (x <$> y)
test    = text "hi" <+> (text "nice" $$ text "world")

which will be layed out as:

hi nice
   world

hang :: Int -> Doc a -> Doc a Source #

The hang combinator implements hanging indentation. The document (hang i x) renders document x with a nesting level set to the current column plus i. The following example uses hanging indentation for some text:

test  = hang 4 (fillSep (map text
        (words "the hang combinator indents these words !")))

Which lays out on a page with a width of 20 characters as:

the hang combinator
    indents these
    words !

The hang combinator is implemented as:

hang i x  = align (nest i x)

indent :: Int -> Doc a -> Doc a Source #

The document (indent i x) indents document x with i spaces.

test  = indent 4 (fillSep (map text
        (words "the indent combinator indents these words !")))

Which lays out with a page width of 20 as:

    the indent
    combinator
    indents these
    words !

encloseSep :: Doc a -> Doc a -> Doc a -> [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (encloseSep l r sep xs) concatenates the documents xs separated by sep and encloses the resulting document by l and r. The documents are rendered horizontally if that fits the page. Otherwise they are aligned vertically. All separators are put in front of the elements. For example, the combinator list can be defined with encloseSep:

list xs = encloseSep lbracket rbracket comma xs
test    = text "list" <+> (list (map int [10,200,3000]))

Which is layed out with a page width of 20 as:

list [10,200,3000]

But when the page width is 15, it is layed out as:

list [10
     ,200
     ,3000]

list :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (list xs) comma separates the documents xs and encloses them in square brackets. The documents are rendered horizontally if that fits the page. Otherwise they are aligned vertically. All comma separators are put in front of the elements.

tupled :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (tupled xs) comma separates the documents xs and encloses them in parenthesis. The documents are rendered horizontally if that fits the page. Otherwise they are aligned vertically. All comma separators are put in front of the elements.

semiBraces :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (semiBraces xs) separates the documents xs with semi colons and encloses them in braces. The documents are rendered horizontally if that fits the page. Otherwise they are aligned vertically. All semi colons are put in front of the elements.

Operators

(<+>) :: Doc a -> Doc a -> Doc a infixr 6 Source #

The document (x <+> y) concatenates document x and y with a space in between. (infixr 6)

(<$>) :: Doc a -> Doc a -> Doc a infixr 5 Source #

The document (x <$> y) concatenates document x and y with a line in between. (infixr 5)

(</>) :: Doc a -> Doc a -> Doc a infixr 5 Source #

The document (x </> y) concatenates document x and y with a softline in between. This effectively puts x and y either next to each other (with a space in between) or underneath each other. (infixr 5)

(<$$>) :: Doc a -> Doc a -> Doc a infixr 5 Source #

The document (x <$$> y) concatenates document x and y with a linebreak in between. (infixr 5)

(<//>) :: Doc a -> Doc a -> Doc a infixr 5 Source #

The document (x <//> y) concatenates document x and y with a softbreak in between. This effectively puts x and y either right next to each other or underneath each other. (infixr 5)

List combinators

hsep :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (hsep xs) concatenates all documents xs horizontally with (<+>).

vsep :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (vsep xs) concatenates all documents xs vertically with (<$>). If a group undoes the line breaks inserted by vsep, all documents are separated with a space.

someText = map text (words ("text to lay out"))

test     = text "some" <+> vsep someText

This is layed out as:

some text
to
lay
out

The align combinator can be used to align the documents under their first element

test     = text "some" <+> align (vsep someText)

Which is printed as:

some text
     to
     lay
     out

fillSep :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (fillSep xs) concatenates documents xs horizontally with (<+>) as long as its fits the page, than inserts a line and continues doing that for all documents in xs.

fillSep xs  = foldr (</>) empty xs

sep :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (sep xs) concatenates all documents xs either horizontally with (<+>), if it fits the page, or vertically with (<$>).

sep xs  = group (vsep xs)

hcat :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (hcat xs) concatenates all documents xs horizontally with (<>).

vcat :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (vcat xs) concatenates all documents xs vertically with (<$$>). If a group undoes the line breaks inserted by vcat, all documents are directly concatenated.

fillCat :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (fillCat xs) concatenates documents xs horizontally with (<>) as long as its fits the page, than inserts a linebreak and continues doing that for all documents in xs.

fillCat xs  = foldr (\<\/\/\>) empty xs

cat :: [Doc a] -> Doc a Source #

The document (cat xs) concatenates all documents xs either horizontally with (<>), if it fits the page, or vertically with (<$$>).

cat xs  = group (vcat xs)

punctuate :: Doc a -> [Doc a] -> [Doc a] Source #

(punctuate p xs) concatenates all documents in xs with document p except for the last document.

someText = map text ["words","in","a","tuple"]
test     = parens (align (cat (punctuate comma someText)))

This is layed out on a page width of 20 as:

(words,in,a,tuple)

But when the page width is 15, it is layed out as:

(words,
 in,
 a,
 tuple)

(If you want put the commas in front of their elements instead of at the end, you should use tupled or, in general, encloseSep.)

Fillers

fill :: Int -> Doc a -> Doc a Source #

The document (fill i x) renders document x. It than appends spaces until the width is equal to i. If the width of x is already larger, nothing is appended. This combinator is quite useful in practice to output a list of bindings. The following example demonstrates this.

types  = [("empty","Doc a")
         ,("nest","Int -> Doc a -> Doc a")
         ,("linebreak","Doc a")]

ptype (name,tp)
       = fill 6 (text name) <+> text "::" <+> text tp

test   = text "let" <+> align (vcat (map ptype types))

Which is layed out as:

let empty  :: Doc a
    nest   :: Int -> Doc a -> Doc a
    linebreak :: Doc a

fillBreak :: Int -> Doc a -> Doc a Source #

The document (fillBreak i x) first renders document x. It than appends spaces until the width is equal to i. If the width of x is already larger than i, the nesting level is increased by i and a line is appended. When we redefine ptype in the previous example to use fillBreak, we get a useful variation of the previous output:

ptype (name,tp)
       = fillBreak 6 (text name) <+> text "::" <+> text tp

The output will now be:

let empty  :: Doc a
    nest   :: Int -> Doc a -> Doc a
    linebreak
           :: Doc a

Pretty class

Semantic annotations

annotate :: a -> Doc a -> Doc a Source #

noAnnotate :: Doc a -> Doc a Source #

Strip annotations from a document. This is useful for re-using the textual formatting of some sub-document, but applying a different high-level annotation.

Rendering

data SimpleDoc a Source #

The data type SimpleDoc a represents rendered documents and is used by the display functions.

The Int in SText contains the length of the string. The Int in SLine contains the indentation for that line. The library provides two default display functions displayS and displayIO. You can provide your own display function by writing a function from a SimpleDoc a to your own output format.

Constructors

SEmpty 
SChar Char (SimpleDoc a) 
SText !Int String (SimpleDoc a) 
SLine !Int (SimpleDoc a) 
SAnnotStart a (SimpleDoc a) 
SAnnotStop (SimpleDoc a)

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> SimpleDoc a -> SimpleDoc b

(<$) :: a -> SimpleDoc b -> SimpleDoc a

renderPretty :: Float -> Int -> Doc a -> SimpleDoc a Source #

This is the default pretty printer which is used by show, putDoc and hPutDoc. (renderPretty ribbonfrac width x) renders document x with a page width of width and a ribbon width of (ribbonfrac * width) characters. The ribbon width is the maximal amount of non-indentation characters on a line. The parameter ribbonfrac should be between 0.0 and 1.0. If it is lower or higher, the ribbon width will be 0 or width respectively.

renderCompact :: Doc a -> SimpleDoc a Source #

(renderCompact x) renders document x without adding any indentation. Since no 'pretty' printing is involved, this renderer is very fast. The resulting output contains fewer characters than a pretty printed version and can be used for output that is read by other programs.

displayDecorated :: (a -> String -> String) -> SimpleDoc a -> String Source #

Render a string, where annotated regions are decorated by a user-provided function.

displayDecoratedA :: (Applicative f, Monoid b) => (String -> f b) -> (a -> f b) -> (a -> f b) -> SimpleDoc a -> f b Source #

display :: SimpleDoc a -> String Source #

(display simpleDoc) transforms the simpleDoc to a String.

displayS :: SimpleDoc a -> ShowS Source #

(displayS simpleDoc a) takes the output simpleDoc a from a rendering function and transforms it to a ShowS type (for use in the Show class).

showWidth :: Int -> Doc a -> String
showWidth w x   = displayS (renderPretty 0.4 w x) ""

displayIO :: Handle -> SimpleDoc a -> IO () Source #

(displayIO handle simpleDoc a) writes simpleDoc a to the file handle handle. This function is used for example by 'hPutDoc a':

hPutDoc a handle doc  = displayIO handle (renderPretty 0.4 100 doc)

type SpanList a = [(Int, Int, a)] Source #

displaySpans :: SimpleDoc a -> (String, SpanList a) Source #

Generate a pair of a string and a list of source span/annotation pairs
