This package was created + in the spirit of + @<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring-show bytestring-show>@. + + At the moment, @text-show@ provides instances for most data + types in the @<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/array array>@, + @<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base base>@, + @<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/bytestring bytestring>@, and + @<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/text text>@ packages. + Therefore, much of the source code for @text-show@ consists of + borrowed code from those packages in order to ensure that the + behaviors of @Show@ and @TextShow@ coincide. + + For most uses, simply importing "TextShow" + will suffice: + + @ + module Main where + + import TextShow + + main :: IO () + main = printT (Just \"Hello, World!\") + @ + + If you desire it, there are also monomorphic versions of the @showb@ + function available in the submodules of "TextShow". See the + <https://github.com/RyanGlScott/text-show/wiki/Naming-conventions naming conventions> + page for more information. + + Support for automatically deriving @TextShow@ instances can be found + in the "TextShow.TH" and "TextShow.Generic" modules. If you don't + know which one to use, use "TextShow.TH". + </longdescription> + <upstream> + <remote-id type="github">RyanGlScott/text-show</remote-id> + </upstream> +</pkgmetadata> |
