The delaborator is the first stage of the pretty printer, and the inverse of the elaborator: it turns fully elaborated Expr core terms back into surface-level Syntax, omitting some implicit information again and using higher-level syntax abstractions like notations where possible. The exact behavior can be customized using pretty printer options; activating pp.all should guarantee that the delaborator is injective and that re-elaborating the resulting Syntax round-trips.

Pretty printer options can be given not only for the whole term, but also specific subterms. This is used both when automatically refining pp options until round-trip and when interactively selecting pp options for a subterm (both TBD). The association of options to subterms is done by assigning a unique, synthetic Nat position to each subterm derived from its position in the full term. This position is added to the corresponding Syntax object so that elaboration errors and interactions with the pretty printer output can be traced back to the subterm.

The delaborator is extensible via the [delab] attribute.

def Lean.PrettyPrinter.Delaborator.isShallowExpression (threshold : Nat) (e : Lean.Expr) : Bool

Returns true if e is a "shallow" expression. Local variables, constants, and other atomic expressions are always shallow. In general, an expression is considered to be shallow if its depth is at most threshold.

Since the implementation uses Lean.Expr.approxDepth, the threshold is clamped to [0, 254].

def Lean.PrettyPrinter.Delaborator.shouldOmitExpr (e : Lean.Expr) : Lean.PrettyPrinter.Delaborator.DelabM Bool

Returns true if, at the current depth, we should omit the term and use ⋯ rather than delaborating it. This function can only return true if pp.deepTerms is set to false. It also contains a heuristic to allow "shallow terms" to be delaborated, even if they appear deep in an expression, which prevents terms such as atomic expressions or OfNat.ofNat literals from being delaborated as ⋯.

"Shallow" proofs are not omitted. The pp.proofs.threshold option controls the depth threshold for what constitutes a shallow proof. See Lean.PrettyPrinter.Delaborator.isShallowExpression.
