Abstract

Galleys have been introduced by Jeff Kingston as one of the key concepts underlying his advanced document formatting system Lout. Although Lout is built on a lazy functional programming language, galley concepts are implemented as part of that language and defined only informally. In this paper we present a first formalisation of document formatting combinators using galley concepts in the purely functional programming language Haskell.
