Add Haddock highlighting #54
Conversation

Stupid question. What benefits does this have? I thought |

There is a highlight group called "PreProc" that is used for C pragmas. I would think haddock is very the definition of a "special comment," as it is literally a comment with special meaning in some contexts. If you have a lot of haddock and find it distracting, you might rather choose a less intense color, but personally I like it to stand out. If I find myself needing to refer to comments frequently to be able to understand and use my code, it is helpful to have a visual reminder that the doc-comments really should be exported. It also helps identify places where I'm accidentally not writing haddock when I meant to, which is usually a silent error. |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
Hmmm... it looks like I'm not even use this anywhere. Must be vestigial. If you decide after all that this is worth pulling, I'll remove it.

I recall that I made the pragmas |

Oh! Good to know... Patching that is a much bigger pain... |

Is there any hope that this will be merged? |
I swiped some highlighting tricks from my old
syntax/haskell.vimfile. This particular group adds highlighting of Haddock docs asSpecialComments
