Emacs Org-Mode & Literate Haskell

Question

In org-mode, a line starting with a colon is formatted as source code. ( http://orgmode.org/manual/Literal-examples.html )

In literate Haskell, source code lines start w

Answer 1

So, obviousely this is not the intended ways to use org.

The main issue when doing this is that both, org-mode and haskell-mode are major modes. So I cannot use them in parallel.

Nevertheless this is how it works, it is a hack, and I am not sure about side effects ..:

When viewing a file in emacs, the (a?) code trigger seems to be in org-activate-code (org.el), but this is not used for export. For HTML export I had to touch org-html.el too.

I changed:

In org.el line 5378, function org-activate-code from

"^[ \t]*\\(:\\(?: .*\\|$\\)\n?\\)"

to

"^[ \t]*\\([:>]\\(?: .*\\|$\\)\n?\\)"

And in org-html.el line 1508 and 1516, function org-export-as-html from

(string-match "^[ \t]*:\\(\\([ \t]\\|$\\)\\(.*\\)\\)" line)

to

(string-match "^[ \t]*[:>]\\(\\([ \t]\\|$\\)\\(.*\\)\\)" line)

and (line 1516)

(string-match "^[ \t]*[:>]\\(\\([ \t]\\|$\\)\\(.*\\)\\)"

Looking at it I assume that this has to be adapted for every export channel one intends to use.
