test file for Haskell syntax highlighting in KDE's Kate

The test file for literate Haskell can be easily created like this:
 cat highlight.hs | sed -e "s|^|> |" -e "s|> -- ||" -e "s|^> $||" > highlight.lhs
You only have to manually edit the multi-line comment below.

this is a single-line comment

{- this is a multi-line comment

Things like "a string" or a 'c' character shouldn't be highlighted in here.

I could even start a new
one-line comment.

-}

a data definition

> data Tree a = Br (Tree a) (Tree a) | Leaf a | Nil deriving (Show, Eq)


function definition, "funnyfunction::", "Integer", "Int", "Bool" should be highlighted

> funnyfunction::(Tree a)=>[a]->Integer->Int->Bool


strings and chars
first line of function definitions (type declaration) should be highlighted

> strangefunction::Int->String
> strangefunction 1 = "hello"
> strangefunction 2 = "what's up"
> strangefunction 3 = (strangefunction 1) ++ ", " ++ (strangefunction 2)
> strangefunction 4 = 'a':'b':'c':'"':[] -- will return "abc"
> strangefunction 5 = '\n':[]
> strangefunction 6 = '\invalidhaskell':[]

function name including the single quote character
and infix operator (`div`)

> justtesting'::Int->Int
> justtesting' 2 = 2+1
> justtesting' 9 = 7 `div` 2

same definition as above, slightly different function name and a couple more whitespaces

> justtesting''	::	Int -> Int
> justtesting''   2 = 3
> justtesting''	9	=   3 + 9 - 9

the following lines are copied out of Haskell's "Prelude.hs"

> infixl 7  *, /, `quot`, `rem`, `div`, `mod`, :%, %


everything highlighted except the "a"

> class Bounded a where
>     minBound, maxBound :: a

> class (Num a, Ord a) => Real a where
>     toRational     :: a -> Rational

finally, some keyword lists

keywords

> then, type, where

infix operators

> quot, rem, div, mod, elem, notElem, seq
