To my knowledge, Haddock only supports ASCII as input encoding. If you want to have characters outside ASCII, you have to escape them using something like  .

Which would mean, while editing the code I'd have to read comments like that :

-- | s lection de l' tat

Which becomes totally unreadable.

Yes, it’s a pity. For me, it’s not such a big problem since I don’t write my Haddock comments in my native language (German) but in English. I only experience this problem because I use nice typography, i.e., “ ” – instead of " " -. GHC supports UTF-8 input, and Haddock uses GHC nowadays. So, in my opinion, Haddock should also support UTF-8 input. Do you want to file a feature request? Best wishes, Wolfgang
