Shall the Haskell Report remain in LaTeX?

It’s a yes from me for us to be using LaTeX, but I think it might be useful to use lhs2TeX to generate the LaTeX.

lhs2TeX makes it possible for us to write literate Haskell files as the source to the Report, which in turn allows us to type-check much of the code we write, which is nice.

Best wishes,

Nick
