# 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.

haskell-scientific: haskell-scientific (Arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers)
haskell-scientific:
haskell-scientific: Arbitrary-precision floating-point numbers represented using
haskell-scientific: scientific notation.
haskell-scientific:
haskell-scientific: Its primary use-case is to serve as the target of parsing floating
haskell-scientific: point numbers. Since the textual representation of floating point
haskell-scientific: numbers use scientific notation they can be efficiently parsed to a
haskell-scientific: Scientific number.
