ghc handles lhs files based on their extension. You don't need to translate it to a different format. If you want to translate > notation lhs to hs on your own (I dunno why, just if you did), the sed/grep combo cat foo.lhs | grep -e "^>" | sed "s/^> //" would work just fine.

How do I compile a literate haskell file foo.lhs (using ghc-6.6)? Is there a tool that translates foo.lhs to foo.hs?

Surprisingly I don't find the answer in http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Literate_programming whereas a lot about translation into tex-files can be found.

Thanks, Immanuel

The same way, how you would translate foo.hs

Is there a tool that translates foo.lhs to foo.hs?

there is an "unlit" program under ghc's libdir (that you usually do not need): /usr/local/lib/ghc-6.6/unlit Cheers Christian
