source layout

Yeah, but that's only half the job. You have to combine these with a Haskell
parser in order to get a program with the functionality of (say) 'indent'
(or have I misunderstood what the libraries do?)

I though this was quite good (but I still use tabs - horrors...)

There are various pretty-printing libraries for Haskell, for example:

http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/haskell-src/Language.Haskell.Pre
tty.html
http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/base/Text.PrettyPrint.html
http://www.cs.uu.nl/~daan/pprint.html

For editors, there's haskell-mode for emacs which does a good job of
indenting
intelligently. I've heard the vim mode works well also.

A bit of googling turned up these:

http://www.haskell.org/~simonmar/libraries/libraries.html
http://www.cs.ou.edu/~rlpage/fpclassFall96/handouts/styleGuide.html
http://www.cs.bris.ac.uk/Teaching/Resources/COMS12100/java/style.html

Hope this helps,
