Styling

2 declarations
datadata AnsiStyle
#

Render the annotated document in a certain style. Styles not set in the annotation will use the style of the surrounding document, or the terminal’s default if none has been set yet.

style = color Green <> bold
styledDoc = annotate style "hello world"

Constructors

  • Ord AnsiStyleDefined in prettyprinter-ansi-terminal-1.1.3 · Prettyprinter.Render.Terminal.Internal
  • Show AnsiStyleDefined in prettyprinter-ansi-terminal-1.1.3 · Prettyprinter.Render.Terminal.Internal
  • Semigroup AnsiStyleDefined in prettyprinter-ansi-terminal-1.1.3 · Prettyprinter.Render.Terminal.Internal

    Keep the first decision for each of foreground color, background color, boldness, italication, and underlining. If a certain style is not set, the terminal’s default will be used.

    Example:

    color Red <> color Green

    is red because the first color wins, and not bold because (or if) that’s the terminal’s default.

  • Monoid AnsiStyleDefined in prettyprinter-ansi-terminal-1.1.3 · Prettyprinter.Render.Terminal.Internal

    mempty does nothing, which is equivalent to inheriting the style of the surrounding doc, or the terminal’s default if no style has been set yet.

Conversion to ANSI-infused Text

2 declarations
valuerenderLazy :: SimpleDocStream AnsiStyle -> Text
#

(renderLazy doc) takes the output doc from a rendering function and transforms it to lazy text, including ANSI styling directives for things like colorization.

ANSI color information will be discarded by this function unless you are running on a Unix-like operating system. This is due to a technical limitation in Windows ANSI support.

With a bit of trickery to make the ANSI codes printable, here is an example that would render colored in an ANSI terminal:

Example4 expressions
let render = TL.putStrLn . TL.replace "\ESC" "\\e" . renderLazy . layoutPretty defaultLayoutOptionslet doc = annotate (color Red) ("red" <+> align (vsep [annotate (color Blue <> underlined) ("blue+u" <+> annotate bold "bold" <+> "blue+u"), "red"]))render (unAnnotate doc)red blue+u bold blue+u    redrender doc\e[0;91mred \e[0;94;4mblue+u \e[0;94;1;4mbold\e[0;94;4m blue+u\e[0;91m    red\e[0m

Run the above via echo -e ... in your terminal to see the coloring.

Render directly to stdout

1 declaration
valuerenderIO :: Handle -> SimpleDocStream AnsiStyle -> IO ()
#

(renderIO h sdoc) writes sdoc to the handle h.

Example2 expressions
let render = renderIO System.IO.stdout . layoutPretty defaultLayoutOptionslet doc = annotate (color Red) ("red" <+> align (vsep [annotate (color Blue <> underlined) ("blue+u" <+> annotate bold "bold" <+> "blue+u"), "red"]))

We render the unAnnotated version here, since the ANSI codes don’t display well in Haddock,

Example1 expression
render (unAnnotate doc)red blue+u bold blue+u    red

This function behaves just like

renderIO h sdoc = TL.hPutStr h (renderLazy sdoc)

but will not generate any intermediate text, rendering directly to the handle.
