I don't understand why you're putting it in your .cabal file. Isn't something like 3.8.5 over at [1] what you're trying to achieve?
Right, I probably should have mentioned that the reason I put it in the .cabal file is that the cabal package I'm putting together is an executable. So I want the documentation to show up on the index page.
...
I had a look at a package ([2]) that I know uses a multi-line code block example. Here's what I found in its cabal file: An example: . > runShpider $ do > download "http://apage.com" > theForm : _ <- getFormsByAction "http://anotherpage.com" > sendForm $ fillOutForm theForm $ pairs $ do > "occupation" =: "unemployed Haskell programmer" > "location" =: "mother's house" .
Depending on your mail client, the `>' signs might get quoted.
Yes. I have no problems including code in general. It's when I have things inside curly braces that I get a parse error. And that's exactly what I would like to have.
Thanks, Josef

Hi,
I'm putting together a cabal package and I'd like to have some code examples in my description file. In particular I would like to have a code block containing markdown containing a code block of Haskell, like this:
~~~{ .haskell } module Main where
main = putStrLn "Hello World!" ~~~
When I put the above code in my .cabal file and do `cabal haddock --executables` I get the following error:
haddock: failed to parse haddock prologue from file: dist/doc/html/codeExtract/codeExtract/haddock-prolog31969.txt
In general I can provoke the parse error from haddock whenever I have something inside curly braces.
So the error seems to stem from haddock. I've tried to track down what happens inside haddock but I've run out steam. I'd like to know if there is anything I can do to be able to write something like the above as part of the description in my .cabal file.
Thanks,
Josef
