Haskell Pretty-printer library
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.
