[Haskell-beginners] Literate Haskell in Markdown but not Bird style

Hi All, Is there a way to use literate haskell with GHC using Markdown but *not* using the Bird style for the code? It seems either one uses Bird style or has to put latex style \begin{code} markup (which markdown doesn't hide) In other words, is there a way to mark up the code in Markdown in a way that GHC understands without having to preprocess the file? I just wanted to write a .lhs file in markdown like I write a .hs file today. Thanks, Dimitri
