#4836: literate markdown not handled correctly by unlit ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: guest | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: Compiler | Version: 7.0.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: GHC rejects valid program | Unknown/Multiple Test Case: | Difficulty: Unknown Blocking: | Blocked By: | Related Tickets: #7120 ----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment (by elliottt): Moving CPP after unlit solves the problem with the sections defined by #, but it doesn't change the fact that in markdown, bird track blocks are actually quotations, not code [1]. What about this as a compromise (assuming my patch gets accepted): move unlit before CPP, to avoid problems with #, and keep the separate processing for .md/.markdown, allowing the distinction between bird tracks and code blocks in markdown. This way, you can write markdown in a .lhs file and use bird tracks for code blocks, and I can write haskell in a .md file using fenced code blocks, and still be able to write quotation blocks.
