Ah, yes, that was one of the consequences of using -lit: it has always  
implied -partial.  However, it is clearly a bug that there was no way  
to get an HTML / CSS / LaTeX prologue and epilogue in conjunction with  
the -lit option.  Now fixed.  The behaviour of -nopartial is now the  
default for all inputs, even literate files.  People who want the old  
behaviour must now ask for it explicitly, using -lit -partial.

I'm not sure what you mean.  Could you send an example?  (It is  
possible that it is a DOS/Windows line-ending bug.)

I will make a new release 1.15 of HsColour once I have a fix for this  
second bug.
