Perhaps under a pseudonym! :) Whoa, just realized once again that email is tone-deaf. I meant that 'pseudonym' thing cheekily: just to help differentiate the proposal in a silly way. In no way was it supposed to be insulting! Sorry for the noise. Tbh, first thing I missed when I saw your mail was not a tonal medium, but a Like button (says something about my cultural deformation, doesn't it ;) I can't speak for others, but I think I read it in the tone you intended.) Also, for the record, I would like for markdown to be an option — regardless of other practical considerations at the moment. It might also be attractive to web people as they check out Haskell. Well, I thought it would be reasonably obvious, but apparently, people like the current output enough to want to keep it. See attached screenshot; this drove me crazy, but that was just me. Ph.

Oh, I never look at that. But the problem here is that HsColour is apparently treating the literate text as if it were HTML. Unless there is some sort of pragma indicating that that is the case, surely it should put the literate blocks in a <pre> tag? And perhaps colour them, or use some sort of border, to distinguish them from the code. Thanks Ian
