Probably very simple question about template haskell: How do I make a type for an argument to splice? Example:

data MyData = MyData1 | MyData2

mysplice mytype = [| litE $ stringL $ show mytype |]

main = do putStrLn $(mysplice MyData)

Cale explained how you can quote types in general. In the special case when you simply want the Name of a type-constructor, you can use the '' quoting syntax: putStrLn $(mysplice ''MyData) Best regards Tomasz
