VS Code shows spurious error for docs/inthelarge.lhs

[hgolden]

Using VS Code and GHC 9.2.8, a spurious error is shown for line 1 of docs/inthelarge.lhs:
\documentclass{article}
> unlit' failed in phase Literate pre-processor'. (Exit code: 1) compiler

I don't know the cause, but a workaround is to insert at the top of the file:
\begin{code} \end{code}
which eliminates the error message.

I wonder if it's because that file contains zero actual Haskell code. It's actually a bit silly for it to be a .lhs file, it ought to just be a .tex file. Perhaps I made it an .lhs file since then I could process it with the exact same pipeline as all the other files. But I really don't remember.

I think the file is still syntactically correct .lhs. My hunch is that unlit.c is the problem. There was a recent patch to unlit.c, but it still is rejecting a proper TeX code. I was tempted to go down that rabbit hole, but I found the workaround instead, fortunately!HowardOn Aug 1, 2023, at 12:48 PM, Brent Yorgey ***@***.***> wrote: I wonder if it's because that file contains zero actual Haskell code.
