Exactly.

The HaXml XML parser has a separate lexer, but it turns out that it's not
always easy to get the tokenization right without having contextual
information (e.g. from the syntax analyzer).
(XML is rather messy in that way.)
Well, yes. In Markdown,

Hi all,
I'm going to try to implement a version of Markdown tool[1] in Haskell.
The application is rather simple: take a text file with some (simple)
mark-up embedded in it and turn it into another text file, this time with
XHTML markup.
Cool project!
