Hi lout-users,

I observed strange things when formatting character constants

(literals) like 'F' in Haskell.

Looking into the prg2lout sources I see:

TOKEN CCharacterToken = {

  U "character", /* used by error messages involving this token      */

  PRINT_WHOLE_QUOTED, /* print this token in quotes etc. as usual         */

  U "@PC", /* Lout command for formatting characters           */

TOKEN EiffelCharacterToken = {

  U "character", /* used by error messages involving this token      */

  PRINT_WHOLE_QUOTED, /* print this token in quotes etc. as usual         */

  U "@PC", /* Lout command for formatting characters           */

TOKEN HaskellCharacterToken = {

  U "character", /* used by error messages involving this token      */

  PRINT_WHOLE_QUOTED, /* print this token in quotes etc. as usual         */

  U "@PC", /* Lout command for formatting characters           */

changing 

U "@PC", /* Lout command for formatting characters           */

to

U "@PS", /* Lout command for formatting characters           */

seems to give good results.

It appears that in haskellf this definition is wrong:

def @PC # for formatting comments

    right x

{

@PCnoDelim { "{"@Symb address@hidden minus"}" }

}

--should possibly be->

def @PC # for formatting comments

    right x

{

@PCnoDelim { "{"address@hidden address@hidden minus}"}" }

}

this also worked

Cheers,
