Hledger.Utils.Text

Text formatting helpers, ported from String as needed. There may be better alternatives out there.

misc

textUnbracket :: Text -> Text

wrap :: Text -> Text -> Text -> Text

Wrap a Text with the surrounding Text.

textChomp :: Text -> Text

Remove trailing newlines/carriage returns.

quoteIfSpaced :: Text -> Text

Wrap a string in double quotes, and -prefix any embedded single quotes, if it contains whitespace and is not already single- or double-quoted.

textQuoteIfNeeded :: Text -> Text

escapeDoubleQuotes :: Text -> Text

stripquotes :: Text -> Text

Strip one matching pair of single or double quotes on the ends of a string.

single-line layout

textElideRight :: Int -> Text -> Text

formatText :: Bool -> Maybe Int -> Maybe Int -> Text -> Text

Clip and pad a string to a minimum & maximum width, andor leftright justify it. Works on multi-line strings too (but will rewrite non-unix line endings).

multi-line layout

textConcatTopPadded :: [Text] -> Text

Join several multi-line strings as side-by-side rectangular strings of the same height, top-padded. Treats wide characters as double width.

textConcatBottomPadded :: [Text] -> Text

Join several multi-line strings as side-by-side rectangular strings of the same height, bottom-padded. Treats wide characters as double width.

fitText :: Maybe Int -> Maybe Int -> Bool -> Bool -> Text -> Text

General-purpose wide-char-aware single-line text layout function. It can left- or right-pad a short string to a minimum width. It can left- or right-clip a long string to a maximum width, optionally inserting an ellipsis (the third argument). It clips and pads on the right when the fourth argument is true, otherwise on the left. It treats wide characters as double width.

linesPrepend :: Text -> Text -> Text

Add a prefix to each line of a string.

linesPrepend2 :: Text -> Text -> Text -> Text

Add a prefix to the first line of a string, and a different prefix to the remaining lines.

unlinesB :: [Builder] -> Builder

Join a list of Text Builders with a newline after each item.

wide-character-aware layout

data WideBuilder

Helper for constructing Builders while keeping track of text width.

Double-width-character-aware string truncation. Take as many characters as possible from a string without exceeding the specified width. Eg textTakeWidth 3 "りんご" = "り".

Reading
