[Haskell-cafe] Literate Haskell source files. How do I turn them into something I can read?

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi Michael,

cpphs is the answer: http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/fp/cpphs/

It has a --unlit mode, and if one of the other flags doesn't remove the
various forms of line dropping, I'm sure if you posted what you need doing,
contacted the author or submitted a patch that someone would be able to do
it. It's something that should exist.

Thanks

Neil
