Why is it necessary to leave a blank line between comments and code? I'm using LaTeX in my lhs files, with the code inside a verbatim environment, and I'd rather start writing my code right after the \begin{verbatim}.
Haskell allows you to use a LaTeX \begin{code}...\end{code} environment to signify code in a literate script (Report Appendix C) --- the only snag is finding a definition for the ``code'' environment. The two that work for me are: (1) Andrew Cooke's haskell.sty --- this is based on the listings.sty package which has lots of features to pretty-print your code without editing it or inserting LaTeX commands. This is available at haskell.org (2) The fancybox.sty package --- if the listings package is not available or fairly old on your LaTeX system then the following will probably still work % code environment for Haskell/HUGS % Environment for code --- requires fancybox package \usepackage{fancybox} \newenvironment{code}% {\VerbatimEnvironment \begin{Verbatim}}% {\end{Verbatim}} Phil ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Phil Molyneux email molyneux@kingston.ac.uk tel work 020 8547 2000 x 5233 direct 020 8547 8233 home 020 8549 0045 Kingston Business School room 339 WWW http://www.kingston.ac.uk/~bs_s024 Kingston University, Kingston Hill, Kingston upon Thames KT2 7LB, UK ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
