I originally posted because I found that --| stood out much more clearly as a structured comment than -- |.

How does a missing space character make that stand out any more? :/

(Admittedly, I rely more on emacs using a different colour for Haddock comments than non-Haddock comments.)

Try it without emacs :-)

I've also read un-highlighted Haskell code; I don't see "--|" standing out any more than "-- |" does. My guess is that you just get used to it... Another argument against special-casing "--|": what happens if you want to use a _different_ documentation generator (I don't know why you would, but someone might) than Haddock, which uses a different markup identifier? -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
