I think you mean "in a do". There is a proposal to fix this in Haskell'

consider this partial program:

putStrLn "big"

putStrLn "small"

this works fine in hugs, but in ghc I must change it to:
if n>5
then
  putStrLn "big"
else
  putStrLn "small"


Actually, this also works:

 if n > 5 then
     putStrLn "big"
   else
     putStrLn "small"

Except in a "do", the "else" must be indented beyond the start of the "if". I think Hugs is violating the Haskell98 layout rules.
