A similar problem is solved by http://github.com/jgm/hsb2hs which might be useful if you need to embed larger pieces of text.

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like John has released a version on Hackage yet :( Then again, the first commit on github was the beginning of this month... -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic ivan.miljeno...@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
