Yes - the common pretty printers do not handle column printing, generally they are for laying out text with nesting - typically program code.
Maybe someone has written a column-oriented pretty printer, it is not so hard - I've written "internal" ones a few times, but never polished one up enough to publish.
I sketched one on a blackboard today, during a workshop. It turned out to be pretty easy in Haskell. Just wanted to double-check that I understand capabilities of Text.PrettyPrint correctly, as it's hard for me to understand the code closer to the end of this module. Thank you very much for your help!
