[back to package description]Pretty : A Haskell Pretty-printer library
Pretty is a pretty-printing library, a set of API's that provides a way to easily print out text in a consistent format of your choosing. This is useful for compilers and related tools.
It is based on the pretty-printer outlined in the paper 'The Design of a Pretty-printing Library' by John Hughes in Advanced Functional Programming, 1995. It can be found here.
Licensing
This library is BSD-licensed.
Building
The library uses the Cabal build system, so building is simply a matter of running:
cabal sandbox init
cabal install "QuickCheck >= 2.5 && < 3"
cabal install --only-dependencies
cabal configure --enable-tests
cabal build
cabal test
We have to install QuickCheck manually as otherwise Cabal currently
throws an error due to the cyclic dependency between pretty and
QuickCheck.
If cabal test freezes, then run
cabal test --show-details=streaming instead. This is due to a
bug in certain
versions of Cabal.
Get involved!
We are happy to receive bug reports, fixes, documentation enhancements, and other improvements.
Please report bugs via the github issue tracker.
