The document type
data Doc | Source
The abstract type of documents. The `Show` instance is equivalent to using `render`.
Instances
Show Doc
Constructing documents
Converting values into documents
char :: Char -> Doc | Source
A document of height and width 1, containing a literal character.
text :: String -> Doc | Source
- 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 | Source
An obsolete function, now identical to `text`.
int :: Int -> Doc | Source
    int n = text (show n)
integer :: Integer -> Doc | Source
    integer n = text (show n)
float :: Float -> Doc | Source
    float n = text (show n)
double :: Double -> Doc | Source
    double n = text (show n)
rational :: Rational -> Doc | Source
    rational n = text (show n)
Simple derived documents
semi :: Doc | Source
A ';' character
comma :: Doc | Source
A ',' character
colon :: Doc | Source
A ':' character
space :: Doc | Source
A space character
equals :: Doc | Source
A '=' character
lparen :: Doc | Source
A '(' character
rparen :: Doc | Source
A ')' character
lbrack :: Doc | Source
A '[' character
rbrack :: Doc | Source
A ']' character
lbrace :: Doc | Source
A '{' character
rbrace :: Doc | Source
A '}' character
Wrapping documents in delimiters
parens :: Doc -> Doc | Source
Wrap document in `(...)`
brackets :: Doc -> Doc | Source
Wrap document in `[...]`
braces :: Doc -> Doc | Source
Wrap document in `{...}`
quotes :: Doc -> Doc | Source
Wrap document in `'...'`
doubleQuotes :: Doc -> Doc | Source
Wrap document in `"..."`
Combining documents
empty :: Doc | Source
The empty document, with no height and no width. `empty` is the identity for `<>`, `<+>`, `$$` and `$+$`, and anywhere in the argument list for `sep`, `hcat`, `hsep`, `vcat`, `fcat` etc.
(<>) :: Doc -> Doc -> Doc | Source
Beside. `<>` is associative, with identity `empty`.
(<+>) :: Doc -> Doc -> Doc | Source
Beside, separated by space, unless one of the arguments is `empty`. `<+>` is associative, with identity `empty`.
hcat :: [Doc] -> Doc | Source
List version of `<>`.
hsep :: [Doc] -> Doc | Source
List version of `<+>`.
($$) :: Doc -> Doc -> Doc | Source
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 | Source
Above, with no overlapping. `$+$` is associative, with identity `empty`.
vcat :: [Doc] -> Doc | Source
List version of `$$`.
sep :: [Doc] -> Doc | Source
Either `hsep` or `vcat`.
cat :: [Doc] -> Doc | Source
Either `hcat` or `vcat`.
fsep :: [Doc] -> Doc | Source
"Paragraph fill" version of `sep`.
fcat :: [Doc] -> Doc | Source
"Paragraph fill" version of `cat`.
nest :: Int -> Doc -> Doc | Source
- Nest (or indent) a document by a given number of positions (which may also be negative). `nest` satisfies the laws:
      nest 0 x = x
-     nest k (nest k' x) = nest (k+k') x
-     nest k (x <> y) = nest k z <> nest k y
-     nest k (x $$ 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 | Source
    hang d1 n d2 = sep [d1, nest n d2]
punctuate :: Doc -> [Doc] -> [Doc] | Source
    punctuate p [d1, ... dn] = [d1 <> p, d2 <> p, ... dn-1 <> p, dn]
Predicates on documents
isEmpty :: Doc -> Bool | Source
Returns `True` if the document is empty
Rendering documents
Default rendering
render :: Doc -> String | Source
Renders the document as a string using the default `style`.
Rendering with a particular style
data Style | Source
A rendering style.
Constructors
Style |
mode :: Mode | The rendering mode
lineLength :: Int | Length of line, in chars
ribbonsPerLine :: Float | Ratio of ribbon length to line length
style :: Style | Source
The default style (`mode=PageMode, lineLength=100, ribbonsPerLine=1.5`).
renderStyle :: Style -> Doc -> String | Source
Render the document as a string using a specified style.
