Thanks for the responses and pointers to the other projects. I'll investigate those after the day-job (the one that pays the bills). As for using the lexer vs the parser, I was hoping to do things such as folding and/or nifty mouse-overs of logical blocks of code, which is why I was interested in the parser. I'm not sure if I could do the same with only a lexer. I'm basically just looking for something concrete to tinker with as I learn Haskell and it seems that Haskell is missing a snazzy pastebin.
