Compile time MMark

[srid]

I'd like to embed my markdown content in the Haskell source in a manner similar to file-embed but (obviously) as MMark documents instead of ByteString.

The primary benefit here is that we fail at compile time if any of the markdown files (in the repository) fails to parse.

Would implementing this feature in this primary repo be within its scope, or is it best done as a separate library? I'm only beginning to get familiar TH, so not yet sure how trivial to implement this would be.

Yes, I guess this is in scope. I thought of something like this myself, but decided that would be not a very popular use case, but you seem to confirm that it's not so. For inspiration see:

• Template Haskell tutorial
• Stache, which can parse Mustache templates at compile time: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/stache

Hope that helps.

What happened to this use case? Have you discovered that you don't need this or have you implemented this functionality but never opened a PR?

[srid]

@mrkkrp I never implemented it.
