Concept:
Pretty printing
Headline
Formating data structures such as source code as text
Details
Arguably, pretty printing is a synonym for unparsing. The term pretty printing hints at the fact that the output is supposed to be pretty. Thus, some emphasis is on the formatting rules, whereas we may prefer to speak of unparsing when we focus on mapping a (parse) tree or another data structure to a corresponding string representation. However, in practice, pretty printing and parsing are used often interchangeably.
Illustration
Consider this parse tree of an if-statement, as represented as a Haskell term:
If
(Eq (Var "x") (Var "y"))
(Return (Var "i))
Skip
A pretty printer may yield the following formatted text:
if (x==y)
return i;
If we make less effort and leave out linebreaks and indentation, we may instead get text like this:
if (x==y) return i;
