pretty_print(++Files, ++Options)

Files

a filename (atom or string), or a list of filenames

Options

A list of Name:Value pairs

Description

The system prints the contents of the file given as the argument as an output file in different formats. See pretty_print/1 for the general description.

This predicate allows the following options to modify the results:

format (default:html)

Possible values are 'html' or 'txt'. The 'html' format produces html output with syntax coloring and navigation links. The output file goes into a directory 'pretty' and has the suffix .html. The 'txt' format produces pure text output. The output file goes into a directory 'pretty' and has the suffix .txt.

outdir (default:pretty)

The location of the generated files. This can be an absolute or a relative pathname (in Eclipse's generic pathname syntax, atom or string). If it is a relative pathname, it is interpreted as reative to the location of the input source file.

style (default:pretty)

Possible values are 'pretty' or 'coverage'. Selects one of two predefined styles for html output. The latter is a less colourful form intended for code coverage output.

inline_css (default:off)

Possible values are 'off' or 'on'. If 'on', the html output will use an inlined style sheet instead of an external one. This is provided for browsers that have problems with including style sheets.

css_span (default:span)

Possible values are 'span' or 'font'. If 'font', the html output will not emit span tags. This is provided for browsers that do not yet support HTML 4.x.

link_back (default:"")

A string in html format that gets inserted as a link to a parent page into the generated pretty-printed source index.html page.
