[Haskell-beginners] Literate Haskell in Markdown but not Bird style

I'm using Sublime Text. I do like it a lot! I disagree that what I need 
is a better editor. What is the more popular to annotate code today: 
Github Markdown or Latex? The source file of a latex document is not 
amenable to be read as you are coding, but Markdown is. So, it helps 
make the code cleaner. ;-)
