Is anything allowed in literal strings except ascii? utf-8?
Well, it handles isolatin characters correctly (iso8859-1). I've played with the Euro Symbol (€) and had no problem either (iso8859-15) On Sunday 14 April 2002 01:01, John Meacham wrote:
this has bitten me in the last day or so too. i regularly use utf-8 in my comments and would like to see them in string literals too. foo :: ∀αβ . α → β looks much prettier than the alternative.
Note: Not that pretty in here, maybe it's my system fault, even though I have utf-8 suport. I do see the alphas and betas, but have no Idea what that square is - Linux/KDE3.0/Kmail. Well that would be nice. Meanwhile, one possibility for xemacs users, would be something like the proofgeneral package (http://www.proofgeneral.org) for haskell. Besides morphing xemacs into a really nice IDE, it renders some keywords to non-ascii symbols (like greek letters) using the xsymbol package. That, combined with a slightly modified literate haskell LaTeX style would be really nice. J.A.
