Details
Description: When using the highlight binary included with
the highlight package on any haskell file (or atleast the
bunch I tried) it fails with various errors. Mostly of the
form (just on various line numbers): highlight: Lua error (
/usr/share/highlight/langDefs/haskell.lang:54: unfinished
string near '"' ) in haskell.lang
I include a patch for /usr/share/highlight/langDefs/haskell.lang which rectifys the problem. Additional info: * package version(s) 3.19-1 * config and/or log files etc. Happens with default configuration Steps to reproduce: 1. Install highlight from community. 2. Use the highlight binary to highlight a haskell file (outputing to any format)

I should probably clarify this a little more: We (Arch Linux
package maintainers) try to change software as little as possible
and we normally only fix bugs related to the way we package
things. Since this is a bug in the software rather than our
package it should be fixed upstream in order to minimize our work
and the possibility that we cause other bugs because we don't know
the software we would patch. Also if it's fixed upstream other
distros will benefit from the fix as well.
