README

GHC syntax highligher

This is a syntax highlighter library for Haskell using lexer of GHC itself.

Here is a blog post announcing the package, the readme is mostly derived from it:

https://markkarpov.com/post/announcing-ghc-syntax-highlighter.html

Motivation

Parsing Haskell is hard, because Haskell is a complex language with countless features. The only way to get it right 100% is to use parser of GHC itself. Fortunately, now there is the ghc package, which as of version 8.4.1 exports enough of GHC's source code to allow us use its lexer.

Alternative approaches, even decent ones like highlight.js either don't support cutting-edge features or do their work without sufficient precision so that many tokens end up combined and the end result is typically still hard to read.

How to use it in your blog

Depends on your markdown processor. If you're an mmark user, good news, since version 0.2.1.0 of mmark-ext it includes the ghcSyntaxHighlighter extension. Due to flexibility of MMark, it's possible to use this highlighter for Haskell and skylighting as a fall-back for everything else. Consult the docs for more information.

skylighting is what Pandoc uses. And from what I can tell it's hardcoded to use only that library for highlighting, so some creativity may be necessary to get it work.

Limitations

CPP directives are not lexed correctly, because the GHC parser is not designed to parse them.
