#784: Cabal strips out { and } in literate code blocks of the description field ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: defect | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Cabal library | Version: 1.8.0.6 Severity: normal | Keywords: Difficulty: unknown | Ghcversion: Platform: | ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- If you have a description like this: {{{ description: Here is some C code: . > for(i = 0; i < 100; i++){ > printf("%d\n",i); > } . }}} Cabal will strip out the brackets. You can use @..@ syntax with { and } except that then the whitespace is off in your code block and you have to escape any symbols that haddock knows. Putting a blackslash (\) in front the braces does not help. The above example works fine in plain haddock leading me the conclusion that cabal is eating the braces. -- Ticket URL: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/hackage/ticket/784 Hackage http://haskell.org/cabal/ Hackage: Cabal and related projects
