Hello,
I have thought again about the relationship of Haskell
and XML. Finally I come up with the following idea. Why
not introduce a Haskell DTD? Not to gain better literate
programming facilities, but to represent _real_ Haskell
code in XML. Of course, no person would like to "program"

It's hard to say. The problem is that some Haskell characters are also
important for XML (e.g. <, &) and so you can't just cut and paste valid
Haskell inside a

We seem to be converging here. I prefer Simon's suggestion of
an appendix to Paul's suggestion of a Section 1.6, but am not
too bothered either way. Will also try to work in Simon's note
about file extensions. I am happy to leave the question
er if you could also work in the convention that we all (I think)
use of .hs suffices for Haskell files, and .lhs for literate ones?

When programming in Miranda, I almost always produce a literate script,
which doubles as a LaTeX document. I think it would be sad if
Haskell did'nt define a literate style.

I think people are asking too much of a literate style. In my
opinion it is useful when writing programs with more comments than code.
In such situations, it is important to be able to distinguish comment lines
and code lines without having t

I, too, am puzzled about trying to fix a ``literate style'' in a
particular programming language. It seems to have limited use. There
appear to be many other kinds of ``documented code'' where it seems to
be inappropriate:

Yes - please include the literate program convention. I never write any
other way.

characters "> " to prevent people writing lines beginning ">=", which
