Hi, Can anyone give a good explanation of what ribbonsPerLine means? Maybe it would be better to simply ask for the meaning of ribbon in this context. The documentation is totally meaningless to me: "reibbonsPerLine: Ratio of ribbon length to line length". I asked at #haskell and frankly, I was surprised by the answer: fons: can anyone tell me what the heck does ribbonsPerLine mean in Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ? fons: > renderStyle style{lineLength=10, ribbonsPerLine=1} $ sep [text "foo" ,text "bar"] lambdabot: "foo bar" fons: > renderStyle style{lineLength=10, ribbonsPerLine=2} $ sep [text "foo" ,text "bar"] lambdabot: "foo\nbar" fons: ok, somehow it affects the line width ... byorgey: fons: I can't explain it, all I know is that you must set it to 1 or else it does bizarre things fons: hahah, ok fons: byorgey: that's funny considering its default value is 1.5 byorgey: if you set it to 1 then lineLength means what you think it should byorgey: fons: EXACTLY Cheers, Fons
