Simple functions to break a String to fit a maximum text width, using Knuth-Liang hyphenation algorithm.
Example:
import Text.Hyphenation import Text.LineBreak hyp = Just english_US bf = BreakFormat 25 '-' hyp cs = "Using hyphenation with gruesomely non parsimonious wording." main = putStr $ breakString bf cs
will output:
Using hyphenation with gruesomely non parsimo- nious wording.
- breakString :: BreakFormat -> String -> String
- breakStringLn :: BreakFormat -> String -> [String]
- data BreakFormat = BreakFormat {}
Documentation
breakString :: BreakFormat -> String -> StringSource
Breaks a String to make it fit in a certain width. The output is a String, suitable for writing to screen or file.
breakStringLn :: BreakFormat -> String -> [String]Source
Convenience for lines $ breakString bf cs
data BreakFormat Source
How to break the Strings: maximum width of the lines, symbol to use
to hyphenate a word, Hypenator to use (language, exceptions, etc. Refer to
Text.Hyphenation for more info). To break lines without hyphenating, put
Nothing
in bfHyphenator
