In their bare essence, the -- combinators of Wadler are not expressive enough to describe some -- commonly occurring layouts. The PPrint library adds new primitives -- to describe these layouts and works well in practice. -- -- The library is based on a single way to concatenate documents, -- which is associative and has both a left and right unit. This -- simple design leads to an efficient and short implementation. The -- simplicity is reflected in the predictable behaviour of the -- combinators which make them easy to use in practice. -- -- A thorough description of the primitive combinators and their -- implementation can be found in Philip Wadler's paper -- (1997). Additions and the main differences with his original paper -- are: -- -- * The nil document is called empty. -- -- * The operator '</>' is used -- for soft line breaks. -- -- * There are three new primitives: 'align', 'fill' and -- 'fillBreak'. These are very useful in practice. -- -- * Lots of other useful combinators, like 'fillSep' and 'list'. -- -- * There are two renderers, 'renderPretty' for pretty printing and -- 'renderCompact' for compact output. The pretty printing algorithm -- also uses a ribbon-width now for even prettier output. -- -- * There are two displayers, 'displayS' for strings and 'displayIO' for -- file based output. -- -- * There is a 'Pretty' class. -- -- * The implementation uses optimised representations and strictness -- annotations. -- -- * A type argument has been added and embedded 'effects' can be seen in -- the SimpleDoc type. -- -- ----------------------------------------------------------- module Text.PrettyPrint.Free ( -- * Documents Doc, putDoc, hPutDoc -- * Basic combinators , char, text, nest, line, linebreak, group, softline , softbreak, hardline, flatAlt, flatten -- * Alignment -- -- The combinators in this section can not be described by Wadler's -- original combinators. They align their output relative to the -- current output position - in contrast to @nest@ which always -- aligns to the current nesting level. This deprives these -- combinators from being \`optimal\'. In practice however they -- prove to be very useful. The combinators in this section should -- be used with care, since they are more expensive than the other -- combinators.
