Highlighting issues with strings containing double-quotes with backslashes

Hi @sumitsahrawat , nice catch!

This issue is caused by these lines: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-mode/blob/master/haskell-font-lock.el#L336-L343

I tries to match any three or more consecutive punctuation chars (there are three backslashes in your example) and remove any comment starting from them if they are not only dashes. Or more simply -- is a comment starter whereas \-- or --\ are possible operators in Haskell.

Can you try and fix this yourself? Would be very appreciated!

I would love to do so, but I'm not very conversant with elisp. Thanks for the offer.

Well, that part is just a big overgrown regexp, nothing to be scared of! Give it a try!

I'll try and return to it.
