In Jan Skibinski's module extractor, I believe the documentation comments are identified by the parser rather than the scanner. Jan, is that correct? If so, how much more difficult would it be to support both commenting styles in that case?
Yes, by the parser. There should not be any difficulty in supporting both styles since it currently extracts any kind of comments, including the nested ones, from any strategic position, anyway. The next step would be to filter the unmarked ones out. But I will also try to maintain the lightweight mode for reasons of my personal preferences :-), support for the legacy code and needs of Haskell Module Browser, which currently ignores all comments but the top ones, if any.
