+HsColour is a small Haskell script to colourise Haskell code.
+It currently has six output formats: ANSI terminal codes
+(optionally XTerm-256colour codes), HTML 3.2 with font tags,
+HTML 4.01 with CSS, HTML 4.01 with CSS and mouseover annotations,
+XHTML 1.0 with inline CSS styling, LaTeX, and mIRC chat codes.
+
+HsColour is an optional build requirement for haskell-platform
+where it is used for documentation generation.
+
+This requires ghc.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines.
