- Special symbols are recognised (=>, <-, ->, ::, ..)
- Unicode support for →, ←, ∷, ‥,⇒, ∀, ∃
- Support for qualified module functions (List.sort, etc)
- Support for qualified module types
- Support for literate code (using > and \begin{code} \end{code})
- Support for literate specifications (using < and \begin{spec} \end{spec})
You can see some examples of its use at zenzike.com.
To install these files simply copy the xml files into the kate configuration directory:
git clone git://github.com/zenzike/kate-haskell.git
cd kate-haskell
cp haskell.xml ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax/
cp literate-haskell.xml ~/.kde/share/apps/katepart/syntax/
These files should be tested against the Kate language DTD before pushing upstream:
xmllint --noout --dtdvalid language.dtd haskell.xml literate-haskell.xml
