How deeply does Learn Haskell by Example cover pretty printing?

Defines a PrettyCsv model and rendering interface, but leaves conversion, summaries, and formatting algorithms as exercises.

Pretty printing

As explained in Learn Haskell by Example

Pretty printing is the rendering of structured information in a human-readable textual format.

Pretty printing renders structured information in a human-readable form. For CSV data, the design must handle arbitrary cell types while supporting readable column summaries. section 8.3

A practical pretty-printing design separates ordinary CSV data from display-ready data:

Restrict printable values to types that can be transformed into Text. section 8.3
