literate haskell

[Jorge Adriano]

Why is it necessary to leave a blank line between comments and code?
I'm using LaTeX  in my lhs files, with the code inside a verbatim 
environment, and I'd rather start writing my code right after the 
\begin{verbatim}.

I'd also like to know if anyone as changed is xemacs configuration file in 
such a way that is easy to change from haskell to LaTeX mode from within lhs 
files, and compile (latex compile) them.
I always have to change to latex mode, the change the syntax highlight, and 
even then I can't compile the from the included lhs files - it always calls 
view instead of compile, even if I specify the correct Master file.

Thanks in advance
