I'm a bit confused which Haskell Html library to use. People tend to recommend the use of libraries available available in the Haskell platform (which is the case of Text.Html), however everybody seems to use Blaze.Html.

What is the difference between the two?

    "People tend to recommend the use of libraries available available in the haskell platform" Really? I've never heard that. Many people, myself included, have aversions towards large dependencies, but blaze is super lightweight, at least compared to great beasts like lens. Also, `Text.HTML` hasn't been updated in 6 years, while blaze is regularly maintained. – user2407038 May 24 '14 at 21:17
  • It's on Haskell Wiki [http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/How_to_write_a_Haskell_program] and nobody seems to have corrected it. – mb14 May 24 '14 at 21:45

    @Jeffrey: The question is more about "Haskell platform" being what it's claiming to be. And so far the question hasn't attracted opinionated answers or spams. – mb14 May 30 '14 at 10:31
