Contents

Description

The Unparse type class and its ParseTree instance, as well as some text manipulation.

Synopsis

Class Unparse

class Unparse p whereSource

Types that are unparsable. Unparsing is like prettyprinting, except that instead of pretty source the original source code is retrieved. This means unparsing is only possible for values that were the result of an earlier parse.

Methods

unparse :: p -> StringSource

Instances

Text utility functions

merge :: [String] -> StringSource

Merge folds many strings over each other.

over :: String -> String -> StringSource

over upper lower places upper over lower. The resulting string has the same characters as upper does, except where upper contains spaces; at those positions, the character from lower shows. If lower is longer than upper, upper is padded with enough spaces to show all rest of lower.
