Render a Doc. render (Just n) will use a line length of n to reflow text on breakable spaces. render Nothing will not reflow text.

A carriage return. Does nothing if we're at the beginning of a line; otherwise inserts a newline.

Inserts a blank line unless one exists already. (blankline <> blankline has the same effect as blankline.

Inserts blank lines unless they exist already. (blanklines m <> blanklines n has the same effect as blanklines (max m n).

Indents a Doc by the specified number of spaces.

A hanging indent. hang ind start doc prints start, then doc, leaving an indent of ind spaces on every line but the first.

beforeNonBlank d conditionally includes d unless it is followed by blank space.

Makes a Doc non-reflowable.

Content to print only if it comes at the beginning of a line, to be used e.g. for escaping line-initial . in roff man.

lblock n d is a block of width n characters, with text derived from d and aligned to the left.

Like lblock but aligned centered.

Like lblock but aligned to the right.

An expandable border that, when placed next to a box, expands to the height of the box. Strings cycle through the list provided.

Removes leading blank lines from a Doc.

Chomps trailing blank space off of a Doc.

Encloses a Doc inside a start and end Doc.

Puts a Doc in curly braces.

Puts a Doc in square brackets.

Puts a Doc in parentheses.

The empty document.

Concatenate a list of Docs, putting breakable spaces between them.

Get real length of string, taking into account combining and double-wide characters.

Document, including structure relevant for layout.

Class abstracting over various string types that can fold over characters. Minimal definition is foldrChar, but defining the other methods can give better performance.
