No, it isn't. The hardest part is writing good code and comments (regardless of whether 
you write literate code or 'normal').

There are two ways of writing literal Haskell code, explained at 
http://haskell.org/onlinereport/syntax-iso.html#sect9.4 .

a) 'Bird tack', start code lines with '>', write as normal (you can include -- and {- -} 
comments). *Separate '>'-lines from non-code lines by at least one blank line*.

b) 'LaTeX' literate Haskell, code is begun by a line starting with "\begin{code}" and 
ended by "\end{code}". You can create really pretty stuff with that style.
