Implementing a show for multi-line content in Haskell
I have a small matrix type in Haskell that maps most accurately across multiple lines. My current implementation of format show
formats looks like this:
matFromRows [[1,2]
,[3,4]]
This works on its own (IE to view matrix content in ghci
), but whenever the matrix is displayed as part of a larger structure it generates very awkwardly formatted and hard to read content. For example, a tuple (matFromRows [[1, 2], [3, 4]], matFromRows [[5, 6], [7, 8]])
would display as
(matFromRows [[1,2]
,[3,4]],matFromRows [[5,6]
,[7,8]]
What's the nicest way to handle show
inline multi-line content in Haskell so that its formatting isn't destroyed when you display it as part of a larger structure?
