Hello Stephen, Stephen> The 10 year old documentation is very good though - for my Stephen> taste, Parsec 2.0 is the best documented Haskell lib I've seen. Indeed the doc for 2.0 is really comprehensive, but didn't the library evolve a lot between release 2.0 and 3.1 ? Stephen> If you want to parse a stream, you don't want Parsec as Stephen> produces as it isn't an online parser - online meaning Stephen> 'streaming' i.e. it can produce some results during the 'work' Stephen> rather than a single result at the end. From the descriptions Stephen> on Hackage, Parsimony and uu-parsinglib sound like better Stephen> candidates; similarly one of the Polyparse modules provides an Stephen> online parser. Thank you for this well detailed explanation. It was just me misusing the word "stream", I was actually meaning a simple bounded string. As a first shot I might try to add a new Reader to pandoc, which makes use of Parsec 3, maybe a Textile one, which is not in yet. regards, -- Paul
