This example probably does not help your position. Since (La)TeX allows the comment character to be changed at any time, the above is not necessarily a comment. Furthermore, even with the default character classifications, \% does not introduce a comment. \% not introducing a comment in (La)TeX doesn't seem a whole lot different from --- not introducing a comment in Haskell. -- Nick Bowler, Elliptic Technologies (http://www.elliptictech.com/) _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
