This is really cool! I've never seen an article that uses Haskell for a real-world task like this, are there any others?

  Pandoc (http://pandoc.org/ http://pandoc.org/) is written in Haskell and converts documents across formats.

    Pandoc is great! ...except if you want to batch convert real-world markdown. Though admittedly, that's mostly because markdown designers thought allowing embedding of arbitrary HTML was a good idea. (The best you can get is by going: markdown -> HTML -> $target_markup.)
    • Tomte 9y ago
      The ability to embed arbitrary HTML is an intentional feature of Markdown.

        aepiepaey agrees with you that it's an intentional design decision ("thought ... was a good idea"), and his/her use of past tense also implies that s/he disagrees with the decision.
