Synopsis

The document type

data Doc Source

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

data TextDetails Source

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 FastString 
ZStr FastZString 
LStr !LitString !Int 

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:

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

ftext :: FastString -> Doc Source

ptext :: LitString -> Doc Source

ztext :: FastZString -> Doc Source

sizedText :: Int -> String -> Doc Source

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

zeroWidthText :: String -> Doc Source

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

int Source

Arguments

:: Int 
-> Doc
int n = text (show n)

integer Source

Arguments

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

float Source

Arguments

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

double Source

Arguments

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

rational Source

Arguments

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

Simple derived documents

Wrapping documents in delimiters

parens Source

Arguments

:: Doc 
-> Doc

Wrap document in (...)

brackets Source

Arguments

:: Doc 
-> Doc

Wrap document in [...]

braces Source

Arguments

:: Doc 
-> Doc

Wrap document in {...}

quotes Source

Arguments

:: Doc 
-> Doc

Wrap document in '...'

quote :: Doc -> Doc Source

doubleQuotes Source

Arguments

:: Doc 
-> Doc

Wrap document in "..."

maybeParens :: Bool -> Doc -> Doc Source

Apply parens to Doc if boolean is true.

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 infixl 6 Source

Beside. <> is associative, with identity empty.

(<+>) :: Doc -> Doc -> Doc infixl 6 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 infixl 5 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 infixl 5 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:

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]

hangNotEmpty :: Doc -> Int -> Doc -> Doc Source

Apply hang to the arguments if the first Doc is not empty.

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
