feature proposal: pretty printing of Native format

feature proposal: pretty printing of Native format

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 2248 bytes --]

Hello,

I often work on Pandoc filters, and I regularly look at Pandoc's native 
format.

Here is an example of the output in my terminal:
> pandoc -i myfile.md --to native
[Para [Image ("fig:myfigure",[],[]) [Str "Figure",Space,Str "1:",Space,Str 
"This",Space,Str "is",Space,Str "a",Space,Str "caption"] 
("generated/other\\8842295943125512100.jpg","fig:")]
,Para [Str "As",Space,Str "you",Space,Str "can",Space,Str "see",Space,Str 
"in",Space,Str "fig.\160\&1,",Space,Str "pandoc-crossref",Space,Str 
"is",Space,Str "compatible",Space,Str "with",Space,Str "the",Space,Str 
"ouput",Space,Str "of",Space,Str "pandoc-pyplot."]]

It would be very useful to get a pretty-printing version of the above, e.g.:

[
    Para [
        Image 
            ("fig:myfigure",[],[]) 
            [Str "Figure",Space,Str "1:",Space,Str "This",Space,Str 
"is",Space,Str "a",Space,Str "caption"] 
            ("generated/other\\8842295943125512100.jpg","fig:")
         ],
    Para [
        Str "As",Space,Str "you",Space,Str "can",Space,Str "see",Space,Str 
"in",Space,Str "fig.\160\&1,",Space,Str "pandoc-crossref",Space,
        Str "is",Space,Str "compatible",Space,Str "with",Space,Str 
"the",Space,Str "ouput",Space,Str "of",Space, Str "pandoc-pyplot."
         ]
]

After a cursory look at the source in Text.Pandoc.Writers.Native, it would 
be possible to make a nice, indented, pretty version of native Haskell, 
given that WriterOptions type has the writerColumns attribute.

Is this something that the Pandoc community might be interested in? Should 
it be a different format than "native", called "pretty-native" or something?

I'm happy to put together a pull request.

Laurent

Hello!

It is possible to do with external tools, for example "jq 
<https://stedolan.github.io/jq/>" . This will give you (kind of) the 
desired output :
pandoc -t json myfile.md | jq .

Regards
Hans

This is a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion.

Actually Text.Pandoc.Writers.Native does do some
prettification; it doesn't just do "show."  You can
see this if you print something with nested block
structure, like lists or blockquotes.

If there are ways you think this should be improved,
feel free to make suggestions or do a PR.

Yes I see that Text.Pandoc.Writers.Native is more than what I thought. 

Piping to a file looks better than the Windows terminal. Pretty-printing 
works better there. Additionally, Hans' suggestion above is fine for now.

Laurent
