Readme for show-prettyprint-0.2.2

[back to package description]

Prettyprint Show output

Output of nested data structures by Show instances is often very hard to read. This package offers a simple function to insert line breaks and indentation into that ouput so that the semantics are unchanged, but makes it much easier to read.

The package does not rely on a parser for actual Haskell; instead, it merely reacts on parentheses, commas and the like. This makes it fairly robust even in the face of invalid Show instances, that may not produce valid Haskell code.

Examples

Artificial

Hello Foo ("(Bar", Haha) (Baz (A { foo = C, bar = D, qux = (E,"He)llo World!",G,
    H,[A,B,c,d,e,Fghi]) } ) (B,C) [Baz A1 B2, (Baz A3 (B4)), (Baz A5 (B6)), (Baz
    (A7) B8)]) (Foo) (Bar) (Baz (A) (B))

==>

Hello Foo ("(Bar",Haha)
          (Baz (A {foo = C
                  ,bar = D
                  ,qux = (E
                         ,"He)llo World!"
                         ,G
                         ,H
                         ,[A,B,c,d,e,Fghi])})
               (B,C)
               [Baz A1 B2
               ,(Baz A3 (B4))
               ,(Baz A5 (B6))
               ,(Baz (A7) B8)])
          (Foo)
          (Bar)
          (Baz (A) (B))
