1. What to call files? I understand (C)WEB suggests using .w, and that noweb uses .nw, what should I call anansi files?
I usually use .anansi, but it doesn't matter. You can use whatever extensions you like, or even none at all.
2. Combining anansi and pandoc works quite well for HTML, but it fails miserably when trying to use the generated LaTeX:
> markdown2pdf: ! LaTeX Error: Command \guillemotleft unavailable in encoding OT1.
Is there any good way to get around that?
The LaTeX loom is designed to output basic markup that can be turned into a PDF with minimum fuss. It probably won't work as-is for more advanced cases, such as when a user wants to use custom templates, or has to inter-operate with pseudo-LaTeX parsers like Pandoc. You could try copying the LaTeX loom into your own code, modifying it to generate the custom output format you want, and then running it as a #!runhaskell script.
3. Is there any editor support for anansi, syntax highlihgting etc?
Not that I know of. Note that Anansi's syntax itself is very minimal, so what you need is an editor that can support formatting a file using multiple syntaxes. I don't know enough about editor modification to figure out which editors support such a feature, or how to enable it.
