(* Pretty printing *)
|
|
|
|
(* This module implements a pretty-printing facility to format text
|
|
within ``pretty-printing boxes''. The pretty-printer breaks lines
|
|
at specified break hints, and indents lines according to the box structure.
|
|
*)
|
|
|
|
(* The behaviour of pretty-printing commands is unspecified
|
|
if there is no opened pretty-printing box. *)
|
|
|
|
(*** Boxes *)
|
|
val open_vbox : int -> unit
|
|
(* [open_vbox d] opens a new pretty-printing box
|
|
with offset [d].
|
|
This box is ``vertical'': every break hint inside this
|
|
box leads to a new line.
|
|
When a new line is printed in the box, [d] is added to the
|
|
current indentation. *)
|
|
val open_hbox : unit -> unit
|
|
(* [open_hbox ()] opens a new pretty-printing box.
|
|
This box is ``horizontal'': the line is not List.split in this box
|
|
(new lines may still occur inside boxes nested deeper). *)
|
|
val open_hvbox : int -> unit
|
|
(* [open_hovbox d] opens a new pretty-printing box
|
|
with offset [d].
|
|
This box is ``horizontal-vertical'': it behaves as an
|
|
``horizontal'' box if it fits on a single line,
|
|
otherwise it behaves as a ``vertical'' box.
|
|
When a new line is printed in the box, [d] is added to the
|
|
current indentation. *)
|
|
val open_hovbox : int -> unit
|
|
(* [open_hovbox d] opens a new pretty-printing box
|
|
with offset [d].
|
|
This box is ``horizontal or vertical'': break hints
|
|
inside this box may lead to a new line, if there is no more room
|
|
on the line to print the remainder of the box.
|
|
When a new line is printed in the box, [d] is added to the
|
|
current indentation. *)
|
|
val close_box : unit -> unit
|
|
(* Close the most recently opened pretty-printing box. *)
|
|
|
|
(*** Formatting functions *)
|
|
val print_string : string -> unit
|
|
(* [print_string str] prints [str] in the current box. *)
|
|
val print_as : int -> string -> unit
|
|
(* [print_as len str] prints [str] in the
|
|
current box. The pretty-printer formats [str] as if
|
|
it were of length [len]. *)
|
|
val print_int : int -> unit
|
|
(* Print an integer in the current box. *)
|
|
val print_float : float -> unit
|
|
(* Print a floating point number in the current box. *)
|
|
val print_char : char -> unit
|
|
(* Print a character in the current box. *)
|
|
val print_bool : bool -> unit
|
|
(* Print an boolean in the current box. *)
|
|
|
|
(*** Break hints *)
|
|
val print_break : int -> int -> unit
|
|
(* Insert a break hint in a pretty-printing box.
|
|
[print_break nspaces offset] indicates that the line may
|
|
be List.split (a newline character is printed) at this point,
|
|
if the contents of the current box does not fit on one line.
|
|
If the line is List.split at that point, [offset] is added to
|
|
the current indentation. If the line is not List.split,
|
|
[nspaces] spaces are printed. *)
|
|
val print_cut : unit -> unit
|
|
(* [print_cut ()] is equivalent to [print_break 0 0].
|
|
This allows line splitting at the current point, without printing
|
|
spaces or adding indentation. *)
|
|
val print_space : unit -> unit
|
|
(* [print_space ()] is equivalent to [print_break 1 0].
|
|
This either prints one space or splits the line at that point. *)
|
|
val force_newline : unit -> unit
|
|
(* Force a newline in the current box. *)
|
|
|
|
val print_flush : unit -> unit
|
|
(* Flush the pretty printer: all opened boxes are closed,
|
|
and all pending text is displayed. *)
|
|
val print_newline : unit -> unit
|
|
(* Equivalent to [print_flush] followed by a new line. *)
|
|
|
|
val print_if_newline : unit -> unit
|
|
(* If the preceding line has not been List.split, the next
|
|
formatting command is ignored. *)
|
|
|
|
(*** Tabulations *)
|
|
val open_tbox : unit -> unit
|
|
(* Open a tabulation box. *)
|
|
val close_tbox : unit -> unit
|
|
(* Close the most recently opened tabulation box. *)
|
|
val print_tbreak : int -> int -> unit
|
|
(* Break hint in a tabulation box.
|
|
[print_tbreak spaces offset] moves the insertion point to
|
|
the next tabulation ([spaces] being added to this position).
|
|
Nothing occurs if insertion point is already on a
|
|
tabulation mark.
|
|
If there is no next tabulation on the line, then a newline
|
|
is printed and the insertion point moves to the first
|
|
tabulation of the box.
|
|
If a new line is printed, [offset] is added to the current
|
|
indentation. *)
|
|
val set_tab : unit -> unit
|
|
(* Set a tabulation mark at the current insertion point. *)
|
|
val print_tab : unit -> unit
|
|
(* [print_tab ()] is equivalent to [print_tbreak (0,0)]. *)
|
|
|
|
(*** Margin *)
|
|
val set_margin : int -> unit
|
|
(* [set_margin d] sets the val of the right margin
|
|
to [d] (in characters): this val is used to detect line
|
|
overflows that leads to List.split lines.
|
|
Nothing happens if [d] is not greater than 1. *)
|
|
val get_margin : unit -> int
|
|
(* Return the position of the right margin. *)
|
|
|
|
(*** Maximum indentation limit *)
|
|
val set_max_indent : int -> unit
|
|
(* [set_max_indent d] sets the val of the maximum
|
|
indentation limit to [d] (in characters):
|
|
once this limit is reached, boxes are rejected to the left,
|
|
if they do not fit on the current line.
|
|
Nothing happens if [d] is not greater than 1. *)
|
|
val get_max_indent : unit -> int
|
|
(* Return the val of the maximum indentation limit (in
|
|
characters). *)
|
|
|
|
(*** Formatting depth: maximum number of boxes allowed before ellipsis *)
|
|
val set_max_boxes : int -> unit
|
|
(* [set_max_boxes max] sets the maximum number
|
|
of boxes simultaneously opened.
|
|
Material inside boxes nested deeper is printed as an
|
|
ellipsis (more precisely as the text returned by
|
|
[get_ellipsis_text]).
|
|
Nothing happens if [max] is not greater than 1. *)
|
|
val get_max_boxes : unit -> int
|
|
(* Return the maximum number of boxes allowed before ellipsis. *)
|
|
|
|
(*** Ellipsis *)
|
|
val set_ellipsis_text : string -> unit
|
|
(* Set the text of the ellipsis printed when too many boxes
|
|
are opened (a single dot, [.], by default). *)
|
|
val get_ellipsis_text : unit -> string
|
|
(* Return the text of the ellipsis. *)
|
|
|
|
(*** Redirecting formatter output *)
|
|
val set_formatter_output : out_channel -> unit
|
|
(* Redirect the pretty-printer output to the given channel. *)
|
|
val get_formatter_output : unit -> out_channel
|
|
(* Return the channel connected to the pretty-printer. *)
