[Haskell-cafe] Re: Bird-style and blank lines

3. Pandoc, via markdown, is a very interesting alternative to latex. Right now you can write a block of code like this:

~~~

...

fact :: Integer -> Integer fact 0 = 1 fact n = n * fact (n-1)

except that that won't work, precisely because you must have a blank
line before and after the code.  Unfortunately, when you go and add
the blank lines, the output will show them.

Note: I've changed pandoc in the repository so that it no longer shows these blank lines. The next point release will incorporate this change, making it easier to use pandoc for literate haskell. Note also that if you begin the code block with ~~~ {.haskell} the HTML output will be syntax-highlighted (assuming you compiled pandoc with the -fhighlighting flag). John
