[Haskell-beginners] What's this [f| data |] ??

[Carlos J. G. Duarte]

Hi. I'm trying to get into haskell in my free time. I have already 
covered some syntax, but there's plenty to do yet, and when I'm 
consulting other people's stuff, I find lots of unknown constructs to 
me, which turns harder to lookup for, due to the very "symbolic" nature 
of Haskell.

For instance, on this http://www.yesodweb.com/blog/2012/04/yesod-js-todo 
they have a few constructs like this:

|mkYesod  "App"  [parseRoutes|
/HomeR  GET
/todoTodosR  GET  PUT
/todo/#TodoId  TodoR  GET  DELETE
|]|


It seems that the inline text is going to be fed to parseRoutes. How 
does that constructs work (links?)? I already know list comprehensions 
which appear to be related with this.

Thanks.
