Re: [Haskell-cafe] question about show

Which package are you using for this?

I'd like to add that in some cases (GHC, Haddock, any base libraries) it is not possible to add such a dependency which means that a lot of the time you're stuck with the stock stuff (Show, IsString).

I'd be interested to know too! Anyways, the purpose (and limitations) of Show in this case seem definitely clearer now, so thanks to you all for responding. From the perspective of a beginner, I have to admit that its definitely confusing though. Cheers, k -- Karsten Gebbert http://ioctl.it mob: 0049 (0) 176 61995110
