-- An XHTML combinator library

-- These combinators can be used to build formated 2D tables.
-- The specific target usage is for HTML table generation.

Examples of use:
> table1 :: BlockTable String
> table1 = single "Hello" +-----+
|Hello|
This is a 1x1 cell +-----+
Note: single has type
single :: a -> BlockTable a
So the cells can contain anything.
> table2 :: BlockTable String
> table2 = single "World" +-----+
|World|
+-----+
> table3 :: BlockTable String
> table3 = table1 %-% table2 +-----%-----+
|Hello%World|
% is used to indicate +-----%-----+
the join edge between
the two Tables.
> table4 :: BlockTable String
> table4 = table3 %/% table2 +-----+-----+
|Hello|World|
Notice the padding on the %%%%%%%%%%%%%
smaller (bottom) cell to |World |
force the table to be a +-----------+
rectangle.
> table5 :: BlockTable String
> table5 = table1 %-% table4 +-----%-----+-----+
|Hello%Hello|World|
Notice the padding on the | %-----+-----+
leftmost cell, again to | %World |
force the table to be a +-----%-----------+
rectangle.
Now the table can be rendered with processTable, for example:
Main> processTable table5
[[("Hello",(1,2)),
("Hello",(1,1)),
("World",(1,1))],
[("World",(2,1))]] :: [[([Char],(Int,Int))]]
Main>
