(** Pretty printing.
This module implements a pretty-printing facility to format values
within 'pretty-printing boxes'. The pretty-printer splits lines
at specified break hints, and indents lines according to the box
structure.
For a gentle introduction to the basics of pretty-printing using
[Format], read
{{:http://caml.inria.fr/resources/doc/guides/format.en.html}
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
http://caml.inria.fr/resources/doc/guides/format.en.html}.
You may consider this module as providing an extension to the
[printf] facility to provide automatic line splitting. The addition of
pretty-printing annotations to your regular [printf] formats gives you
fancy indentation and line breaks.
Pretty-printing annotations are described below in the documentation of
the function {!Format.fprintf}.
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
You may also use the explicit box management and printing functions
provided by this module. This style is more basic but more verbose
than the [fprintf] concise formats.
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
For instance, the sequence
[open_box 0; print_string "x ="; print_space ();
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
print_int 1; close_box (); print_newline ()]
that prints [x = 1] within a pretty-printing box, can be
abbreviated as [printf "@[%s@ %i@]@." "x =" 1], or even shorter
[printf "@[x =@ %i@]@." 1].
Rule of thumb for casual users of this library:
- use simple boxes (as obtained by [open_box 0]);
- use simple break hints (as obtained by [print_cut ()] that outputs a
simple break hint, or by [print_space ()] that outputs a space
indicating a break hint);
- once a box is opened, display its material with basic printing
functions (e. g. [print_int] and [print_string]);
- when the material for a box has been printed, call [close_box ()] to
close the box;
- at the end of your routine, flush the pretty-printer to display all the
remaining material, e.g. evaluate [print_newline ()].
The behaviour of pretty-printing commands is unspecified
if there is no opened pretty-printing box. Each box opened via
one of the [open_] functions below must be closed using [close_box]
for proper formatting. Otherwise, some of the material printed in the
boxes may not be output, or may be formatted incorrectly.
In case of interactive use, the system closes all opened boxes and
flushes all pending text (as with the [print_newline] function)
after each phrase. Each phrase is therefore executed in the initial
state of the pretty-printer.
Warning: the material output by the following functions is delayed
in the pretty-printer queue in order to compute the proper line
splitting. Hence, you should not mix calls to the printing functions
of the basic I/O system with calls to the functions of this module:
this could result in some strange output seemingly unrelated with
the evaluation order of printing commands.

(** Abstract data corresponding to a pretty-printer (also called a

Defining new pretty-printers permits unrelated output of material in
parallel on several output channels.
All the parameters of a pretty-printer are local to a formatter:
margin, maximum indentation limit, maximum number of boxes
simultaneously opened, ellipsis, and so on, are specific to
each pretty-printer and may be fixed independently.
Given a [Pervasives.out_channel] output channel [oc], a new formatter
writing to that channel is simply obtained by calling
[formatter_of_out_channel oc].
Alternatively, the [make_formatter] function allocates a new
formatter with explicit output and flushing functions
(convenient to output material to strings for instance).

2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
The format [fmt] is a character string which contains three types of
objects: plain characters and conversion specifications as specified in
the [Printf] module, and pretty-printing indications specific to the
[Format] module.
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
The pretty-printing indication characters are introduced by
a [@] character, and their meanings are:
- [@\[]: open a pretty-printing box. The type and offset of the
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
box may be optionally specified with the following syntax:
the [<] character, followed by an optional box type indication,
then an optional integer offset, and the closing [>] character.
Box type is one of [h], [v], [hv], [b], or [hov].
'[h]' stands for an 'horizontal' box,
'[v]' stands for a 'vertical' box,
'[hv]' stands for an 'horizontal-vertical' box,
'[b]' stands for an 'horizontal-or-vertical' box demonstrating indentation,
'[hov]' stands a simple 'horizontal-or-vertical' box.
For instance, [@\[<hov 2>] opens an 'horizontal-or-vertical'
box with indentation 2 as obtained with [open_hovbox 2].
For more details about boxes, see the various box opening
functions [open_*box].
- [@\]]: close the most recently opened pretty-printing box.
- [@,]: output a 'cut' break hint, as with [print_cut ()].
- [@ ]: output a 'space' break hint, as with [print_space ()].
- [@;]: output a 'full' break hint as with [print_break]. The
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
[nspaces] and [offset] parameters of the break hint may be
optionally specified with the following syntax:
the [<] character, followed by an integer [nspaces] value,
then an integer [offset], and a closing [>] character.
If no parameters are provided, the good break defaults to a
'space' break hint.
- [@.]: flush the pretty printer and split the line, as with
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
[print_newline ()].
- [@<n>]: print the following item as if it were of length [n].
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
Hence, [printf "@<0>%s" arg] prints [arg] as a zero length string.
If [@<n>] is not followed by a conversion specification,
then the following character of the format is printed as if
it were of length [n].
- [@\{]: open a tag. The name of the tag may be optionally
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
specified with the following syntax:
the [<] character, followed by an optional string
specification, and the closing [>] character. The string
specification is any character string that does not contain the
closing character ['>']. If omitted, the tag name defaults to the
empty string.
For more details about tags, see the functions [open_tag] and
[close_tag].
- [@\}]: close the most recently opened tag.
- [@?]: flush the pretty printer as with [print_flush ()].
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
This is equivalent to the conversion [%!].
- [@\n]: force a newline, as with [force_newline ()], not the normal way
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
of pretty-printing, you should prefer using break hints inside a vertical
box.
Note: If you need to prevent the interpretation of a [@] character as a
pretty-printing indication, you must escape it with a [%] character.
Old quotation mode [@@] is deprecated since it is not compatible with
formatted input interpretation of character ['@'].
2016-09-08 21:13:10 +04:00
Example: [printf "@[%s@ %d@]@." "x =" 1] is equivalent to
[open_box (); print_string "x ="; print_space ();
print_int 1; close_box (); print_newline ()].
It prints [x = 1] within a pretty-printing 'horizontal-or-vertical' box.

val sprintf : ('a, unit, string) format -> 'a
(** Same as [printf] above, but instead of printing on a formatter,
returns a string containing the result of formatting the arguments.
Note that the pretty-printer queue is flushed at the end of {e each
call} to [sprintf].
In case of multiple and related calls to [sprintf] to output
material on a single string, you should consider using [fprintf]
with the predefined formatter [str_formatter] and call
[flush_str_formatter ()] to get the final result.
Alternatively, you can use [Format.fprintf] with a formatter writing to a
buffer of your own: flushing the formatter and the buffer at the end of
pretty-printing returns the desired string.
