%% @doc A generic pretty printer library. This module uses a
%% strict-style context passing implementation of John Hughes algorithm,
%% described in "The design of a Pretty-printing Library". The
%% paragraph-style formatting, empty documents, floating documents, and
%% null strings are my own additions to the algorithm.
%%
%% To get started, you should read about the {@link document()} data
%% type; the main constructor functions: {@link text/1}, {@link
%% above/2}, {@link beside/2}, {@link nest/2}, {@link sep/1}, and {@link
%% par/2}; and the main layout function {@link format/3}.
%%
%% If you simply want to format a paragraph of plain text, you probably
%% want to use the {@link text_par/2} function, as in the following
%% example:
%% ```
%% prettypr:format(prettypr:text_par("Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"), 20)
%% '''

%% @TODO can floats be moved in/out of sep:s without too much pain?

-module(prettypr).

-export([above/2, beside/2, best/3, break/1, empty/0, floating/1,
	 floating/3, follow/2, follow/3, format/1, format/2, format/3,
	 nest/2, par/1, par/2, sep/1, text/1, null_text/1, text_par/1,
	 text_par/2]).

-export_type([document/0]).

%% ---------------------------------------------------------------------

-type deep_string() :: [char() | deep_string()].

%% Document structures fully implemented and available to the user:

-record(nest,   {n  :: integer(),  d  :: document()}).
-record(beside, {d1 :: document(), d2 :: document()}).
-record(above,  {d1 :: document(), d2 :: document()}).
-record(sep,    {ds :: [document()], i = 0 :: integer(),
                 p = false :: boolean()}).

%% Document structure which is not clear whether it is fully implemented: 
-record(float,  {d  :: document(), h :: integer(), v :: integer()}).

%% Document structures not available to the user:
-record(union,  {d1 :: document(), d2 :: document()}).
-record(fit,    {d  :: document()}).

%% ---------------------------------------------------------------------
%% A small warning for hackers: it's fairly easy to break this
%% thing (in particular, to muck up the complexity) if you don't
%% understand how it works.
%% ---------------------------------------------------------------------


%% =====================================================================
%% @type document(). An abstract character-based "document" representing
%% a number of possible layouts, which can be processed to produce a
%% single concrete layout. A concrete layout can then be rendered as a
%% sequence of characters containing linebreaks, which can be passed to
%% a printer or terminal that uses a fixed-width font.
%%
%% For example, a document `sep([text("foo"), text("bar")])' 
%% represents the two layouts
%% ```foo bar'''
%% and
%% ```foo
%%    bar'''
%%
%% Which layout is chosen depends on the available horizontal space.
%% When processing a document, the main parameters are the <em>paper
%% width</em> and the <em>line width</em> (also known as the "ribbon
%% width"). In the resulting layout, no text should be printed beyond
%% the paper width (which by default is 80 characters) as long as it can
%% be avoided, and each single line of text (its indentation not
%% counted, hence "ribbon") should preferably be no wider than the
%% specified line width (which by default is 65).
%%
%% Documents can be joined into a single new document using the
%% constructor functions of this module. Note that the new document
%% often represents a larger number of possible layouts than just the
%% sum of the components.

-type document() :: 'null' | #text{} | #nest{} | #beside{}
                  | #above{} | #sep{} | #float{} | #union{} | #fit{}.

%% =====================================================================
%% @spec text(Characters::string()) -> document()
%%
%% @doc Yields a document representing a fixed, unbreakable sequence of
%% characters. The string should contain only <em>printable</em>
%% characters (tabs allowed but not recommended), and <em>not</em>
%% newline, line feed, vertical tab, etc. A tab character (`\t') is
%% interpreted as padding of 1-8 space characters to the next column of
%% 8 characters <em>within the string</em>.
%%
%% @see empty/0
%% @see null_text/1
%% @see text_par/2

-spec text(string()) -> #text{}.

text(S) ->
    mktext(string(S)).	  % convert to internal representation

%% This function is used internally only, and expects a string on
%% the internal representation:

mktext(S) ->
    #text{s = S}.


%% =====================================================================
%% @spec null_text(Characters::string()) -> document()
%%
%% @doc Similar to {@link text/1}, but the result is treated as having
%% zero width. This is regardless of the actual length of the string.
%% Null text is typically used for markup, which is supposed to have no
%% effect on the actual layout.
%%
%% The standard example is when formatting source code as HTML to be
%% placed within `<pre>...</pre>' markup, and using e.g. `<i>' and `<b>'
%% to make parts of the source code stand out. In this case, the markup
%% does not add to the width of the text when viewed in an HTML browser,
%% so the layout engine should simply pretend that the markup has zero
%% width.
%%
%% @see text/1
%% @see empty/0

-spec null_text(string()) -> #text{}.

null_text(S) ->
    mktext(null_string(S)).    % convert to internal representation

%% @equiv text_par(Text, 0)

-spec text_par(string()) -> document().

text_par(S) ->
    text_par(S, 0).


%% =====================================================================
%% @spec text_par(Text::string(), Indentation::integer()) -> document()
%%
%% @doc Yields a document representing paragraph-formatted plain text.
%% The optional `Indentation' parameter specifies the extra indentation
%% of the first line of the paragraph. For example, `text_par("Lorem
%% ipsum dolor sit amet", N)' could represent
%% ```Lorem ipsum dolor
%%    sit amet'''
%% if `N' = 0, or
%% ```  Lorem ipsum
%%    dolor sit amet'''
%% if `N' = 2, or
%% ```Lorem ipsum dolor
%%      sit amet'''
%% if `N' = -2.
%% 
%% (The sign of the indentation is thus reversed compared to the {@link
%% par/2} function, and the behaviour varies slightly depending on the
%% sign in order to match the expected layout of a paragraph of text.)
%%
%% Note that this is just a utility function, which does all the work of
%% splitting the given string into words separated by whitespace and
%% setting up a {@link par/2. `par'} with the proper indentation,
%% containing a list of {@link text/1. `text'} elements.

%% =====================================================================
%% @spec empty() -> document()
%%
%% @doc Yields the empty document, which has neither height nor width.
%% (`empty' is thus different from an empty {@link text/1. `text'}
%% string, which has zero width but height 1.)
%% 
%% Empty documents are occasionally useful; in particular, they have the
%% property that `above(X, empty())' will force a new line after `X'
%% without leaving an empty line below it; since this is a common idiom,
%% the utility function {@link break/1} will place a given document in
%% such a context.
%%
%% @see text/1

-spec empty() -> 'null'.

empty() ->
    null.


%% =====================================================================
%% @spec break(document()) -> document()
%%
%% @doc Forces a line break at the end of the given document. This is a
%% utility function; see {@link empty/0} for details.

-spec break(document()) -> #above{}.

break(D) ->
    above(D, empty()).


%% =====================================================================
%% @spec nest(N::integer(), D::document()) -> document()
%%
%% @doc Indents a document a number of character positions to the right.
%% Note that `N' may be negative, shifting the text to the left, or
%% zero, in which case `D' is returned unchanged.

-spec nest(integer(), document()) -> document().

nest(N, D) ->
    if N =:= 0 ->
	    D;

%% =====================================================================
%% @spec beside(D1::document(), D2::document()) -> document()
%%
%% @doc Concatenates documents horizontally. Returns a document
%% representing the concatenation of the documents `D1' and `D2' such
%% that the last character of `D1' is horizontally adjacent to the first
%% character of `D2', in all possible layouts. (Note: any indentation of
%% `D2' is lost.)
%%
%% Examples:
%% ```ab  cd  =>  abcd
%%
%%    ab  ef      ab
%%    cd  gh  =>  cdef
%%                  gh'''

-spec beside(document(), document()) -> #beside{}.

beside(D1, D2) ->
    #beside{d1 = D1, d2 = D2}.


%% =====================================================================
%% @spec above(D1::document(), D2::document()) -> document()
%%
%% @doc Concatenates documents vertically. Returns a document
%% representing the concatenation of the documents `D1' and `D2' such
%% that the first line of `D2' follows directly below the last line of
%% `D1', and the first character of `D2' is in the same horizontal
%% column as the first character of `D1', in all possible layouts.
%%
%% Examples:
%% ```ab  cd  =>  ab
%%                cd
%%
%%                   abc
%%    abc   fgh  =>   de
%%     de    ij      fgh
%%                    ij'''

-spec above(document(), document()) -> #above{}.

above(D1, D2) ->
    #above{d1 = D1, d2 = D2}.


%% =====================================================================
%% @spec sep(Docs::[document()]) -> document()
%%
%% @doc Arranges documents horizontally or vertically, separated by
%% whitespace. Returns a document representing two alternative layouts
%% of the (nonempty) sequence `Docs' of documents, such that either all
%% elements in `Docs' are concatenated horizontally, and separated by a
%% space character, or all elements are concatenated vertically (without
%% extra separation).
%%
%% Note: If some document in `Docs' contains a line break, the vertical
%% layout will always be selected.
%%
%% Examples:
%% ```                             ab
%%    ab  cd  ef  =>  ab cd ef  |  cd
%%                                 ef
%%
%%    ab           ab
%%    cd  ef  =>   cd
%%                 ef'''
%%
%% @see par/2

-spec sep([document()]) -> #sep{}.

    #sep{ds = Ds}.


%% =====================================================================
%% @spec par(Docs::[document()]) -> document()
%% @equiv par(Ds, 0)

-spec par([document()]) -> #sep{}.

par(Ds) ->
    par(Ds, 0).


%% =====================================================================
%% @spec par(Docs::[document()], Offset::integer()) -> document()
%%
%% @doc Arranges documents in a paragraph-like layout. Returns a
%% document representing all possible left-aligned paragraph-like
%% layouts of the (nonempty) sequence `Docs' of documents. Elements in
%% `Docs' are separated horizontally by a single space character and
%% vertically with a single line break. All lines following the first
%% (if any) are indented to the same left column, whose indentation is
%% specified by the optional `Offset' parameter relative to the position
%% of the first element in `Docs'. For example, with an offset of -4,
%% the following layout can be produced, for a list of documents
%% representing the numbers 0 to 15:
%%
%% ```    0 1 2 3
%%    4 5 6 7 8 9
%%    10 11 12 13
%%    14 15'''
%% or with an offset of +2:
%% ```0 1 2 3 4 5 6
%%      7 8 9 10 11
%%      12 13 14 15'''
%%
%% The utility function {@link text_par/2} can be used to easily
%% transform a string of text into a `par' representation by splitting
%% it into words.
%%
%% Note that whenever a document in `Docs' contains a line break, it
%% will be placed on a separate line. Thus, neither a layout such as
%% ```ab cd
%%       ef'''
%% nor
%% ```ab
%%    cd ef'''
%% will be generated. However, a useful idiom for making the former
%% variant possible (when wanted) is `beside(par([D1, text("")], N),
%% D2)' for two documents `D1' and `D2'. This will break the line
%% between `D1' and `D2' if `D1' contains a line break (or if otherwise
%% necessary), and optionally further indent `D2' by `N' character
%% positions. The utility function {@link follow/3} creates this context
%% for two documents `D1' and `D2', and an optional integer `N'.
%%
%% @see par/1
%% @see text_par/2

-spec par([document()], integer()) -> #sep{}.

par(Ds, N) ->
    mksep(Ds, N, true).

%% Used internally only:

    #sep{ds = Ds, i = N, p = P}.

%% @spec follow(D1::document(), D2::document()) -> document()

%% =====================================================================
%% @spec follow(D1::document(), D2::document(), Offset::integer()) ->
%%           document()
%% 
%% @doc Separates two documents by either a single space, or a line
%% break and intentation. In other words, one of the layouts
%% ```abc def'''
%% or
%% ```abc
%%     def'''
%% will be generated, using the optional offset in the latter case. This
%% is often useful for typesetting programming language constructs.
%%
%% This is a utility function; see {@link par/2} for further details.

%% =====================================================================
%% @spec floating(D::document(), Hp::integer(), Vp::integer()) ->
%%           document()
%%
%% @doc Creates a "floating" document. The result represents the same
%% set of layouts as `D'; however, a floating document may be moved
%% relative to other floating documents immediately beside or above it,
%% according to their relative horizontal and vertical priorities. These
%% priorities are set with the `Hp' and `Vp' parameters; if omitted,
%% both default to zero.
%%
%% Notes: Floating documents appear to work well, but are currently less
%% general than you might wish, losing effect when embedded in certain
%% contexts. It is possible to nest floating-operators (even with
%% different priorities), but the effects may be difficult to predict.
%% In any case, note that the way the algorithm reorders floating
%% documents amounts to a "bubblesort", so don't expect it to be able to
%% sort large sequences of floating documents quickly.

%% `no_layout' if no layout could be selected.
%%
%% `PaperWidth' specifies the total width (in character positions) of
%% the field for which the text is to be laid out. `LineWidth' specifies
%% the desired maximum width (in number of characters) of the text
%% printed on any single line, disregarding leading and trailing white
%% space. These parameters need to be properly balanced in order to
%% produce good layouts. By default, `PaperWidth' is 80 and `LineWidth'

%%
%% A `text' node simply represents a string (which should not contain
%% linefeed or carriage return characters). A `nest' node specifies a
%% relative indentation (in number of character positions) of a
%% document. The indentation could be a negative number. A `beside' node
%% specifies a horizontal composition of two documents, and an `above'
%% node a vertical composition. A `sep' node specifies a list of
%% alternative documents; the `i' field holds the extra indentation of
%% all documents but the first in `ds', and if the `p' field is `true'
%% then the list is typeset in paragraph mode.
%%
%% The function `best/3' yields a representation of a "best layout",

%% @spec best(document(), PaperWidth::integer(),

%%
%% @doc Selects a "best" layout for a document, creating a corresponding
%% fixed-layout document. If no layout could be produced, the atom
%% `empty' is returned instead. For details about `PaperWidth' and
%% `LineWidth', see {@link format/3}. The function is idempotent.
%%
%% One possible use of this function is to compute a fixed layout for a
%% document, which can then be included as part of a larger document.
%% For example:
%% ```above(text("Example:"), nest(8, best(D, W - 12, L - 6)))'''
%% will format `D' as a displayed-text example indented by 8, whose

%%
% This function is used by the {@link format/3} function to prepare a

%% Recall that a document represents a set of possible layouts. `best'
%% selects the "best" layout of a document, returning a simplified

%% We need to use `strwidth' instead of list `length', to properly

%% not really nice to give to a prettyprinter, and this seems to be the
