Update:  It seems that pcre-light is no longer being actively maintained
upstream.  pcre-regex-builtin is not in Debian.  I thought the solution
might be to add an option to highlighting-kate to use the regex-pcre library
(in debian as libghc-regex-pcre-dev).  However, this seems to have the same
problem:

Prelude Text.Regex.PCRE.ByteString Data.ByteString.UTF8> Left e <- compile (compUTF8 + 
compAnchored) 0 (fromString "[\\o{0370}-\\o{0377}")
Prelude Text.Regex.PCRE.ByteString Data.ByteString.UTF8> e
(11,"range out of order in character class")

Is the problem perhaps that the underlying C library pcre has not been
compiled with UTF8 support?

I'd tested before with pcre-regex-builtin, which worked.
I recompiled with pcre-light, and got the failure you report.

The problem can be exhibited in pcre-light:

Prelude Text.Regex.PCRE.Light Data.ByteString.UTF8> match (compile
(fromString
"[\\o{0370}-\\o{0377}") [utf8,anchored]) (fromString "hi") []
*** Exception: Text.Regex.PCRE.Light: Error in regex: range out of order
in
character class

The unicode ranges seem to be confusing it, even with 'utf8' set.

Submitted an issue upstream:
https://github.com/Daniel-Diaz/pcre-light/issues/1

In the mean time, I suggest that debian packagers use pcre-regex-builtin
instead (though perhaps there was a reason for using pcre-light?).

Hi John,

Are you certain that the version you are using in GHCI is 0.5.8.2,
and not an older version (perhaps from your user database)?

I rechecked, using the same version of the package but on a different machine, different arch, just in case. But still with debian-built packages, and with the same result.

Here is what ghci has to say, with the full versions of the modules used:

You think something else might be to blame in the module stack?
Do you know if there is a way to ask pcre-light to be somewhat more informative about the regex producing the issue?

By the way, many thanks for pandoc!

Best regards
Samuel
