4 Font Lock Support

haskell-mode supports syntax highlighting via Emacs’ Font Lock minor mode which should be enabled by default in current Emacsen. See (emacs)Font Lock, for more information on how to control font-lock-mode.

Syntax highlighting facilities parse strings and string escape sequences and are able to highlight unrecognized constructs.

Haskell Mode shows keywords, identifiers, operators, constructors and types in different colors.

There is also support to use mode-specific syntax highlighing for quasiquotes. Customize haskell-font-lock-quasi-quote-modes to make sure your quoters are supported.
