Haskell syntax highlighting on Wikibooks/Wikipedia

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to point out that with
  https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10967
resolved, Haskell syntax highlighting is now available on Wikibooks

You can see a small sample in
  http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:Kowey/Haskell

<source lang="haskell">
-- foo
let x = foo
</source>

I think I'll post this to Haskell cafe as well

(fwd) Re: question from Yet Another Haskell Tutorial

A new page has been added to the Haskell Wikibook, as an Errata page
for YAHT.  See the following message forwarded from Haskell-Beginners:

[Haskell wikibook] New template for referencing standard library haddocks

Hello wikibookians,

There's a new template for referencing standard library haddocks.

  http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Template:Haskell_lib

- What does this template do? -

This template generates links to the documentation of GHC's standard
library modules. For example, if you talk about Control.Monad and want
the text to be a proper link to the latest GHC Haddocks, this template
is for you.

Arguably, automatic syntax coloring and hyperlinking of Haskell source
code should obsolete this template.

- Usage -

 {{Haskell lib|Control|Monad}}
 => Control.Monad from the base-package.

 {{Haskell lib|package=mtl|Control|Monad|State}}
 => Control.Monad.State from the mtl-package.

Currently, the module name may be only 5 levels deep, but that's easy to
change.

Regards,
apfelmus

Thank you very much for the encouragement, we are delighted that you 
appreciate our efforts :)

The aim of the Haskell wikibook is to write a free and gentle textbook 
on Haskell and associated techniques for functional programming. Of 
course, to keep up the good work, we are always looking for 
contributors. In fact, the book lives through contributions from its 
readers: it is built with a wiki, utilizing the same platform as 
Wikipedia and hence sharing the same principle that anyone can edit.

[Haskell wikibook] Haskell wikibook - chapter "Theseus and the Zipper"

Dear Mr. Huet,

Fascinated by the zipper since reading your publication, the authors of 
the Haskell wikibook have written a special introduction to this data 
structure:

   "Theseus and the Zipper".
   http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Haskell/Zippers

starring Theseus and Ariadne. We hope you will enjoy it :)

All the best,
apfelmus

The wikibook is, and I repeat, fully navigable for the most part but 
that shouldn't preclude us from striving for perfection.

[Haskell wikibook] Using XHTML Elements in the Wikibook

Hello again
One of you chaps once told me that XHTML elements had no place in the 
Wikibook: the rationale being that everyone, regardless of his 
knowledge of mark-up languages, should be encouraged to contribute to 
the wiki text.
I'm wondering if a small amount of HTML tagging may not be such a bad 
idea considering the accessibility benefits.
What does the list think?
Cheers,
Paul

[Haskell wikibook] Where is the Wikibook?

Hi folks,
I've not looked at the Wikibook for quite sometime.  Now I'm having 
difficulty locating the wiki pages.  Have they been moved? If the 
wikibook is still in existence, could someone send me its URL please?
Thanks,
Paul

[Haskell wikibook] hcar report

Dear Haskell wikibookians,

I am having a hard time writing up our HCAR report, lately.  Anybody
want to take a stab at it?

Here is my very clumsy attempt.
