Haskell mode for Emacs with extensive font locking, version 0.100 ----------------------------------------------------------------- The ubiquitous editor Emacs allows modes specific to a particular language or task. We present a mode for editing Haskell scripts that provides extensive "font locking". Font locking allows the appearance of text to change according to its role or function. For example, keywords such as "where" and "let" can be highlighted in a colour different to the ordinary code surrounding it. Comments, or code that is commented out, can also be coloured to reveal that the text should not be treated as code. This allows more information to be passed to the user about the visible text and I feel aids the programmer significantly. Apart from the font locking, the mode provides some simple functions such as indentation (to the first non-whitespace character of the previous line). We hope to extend this functionality in future versions. To see a demonstration of the mode in action, see: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/~gem/haskell-font-lock.html and you can download the mode from: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/~gem/haskell-mode.el Any problems, please mail me. Cheers, Graeme.
