Hello, I've been learning Haskell by working through the O'Reilly book, but a lot of the coding I do is offline. One thing that's been really helpful in other languages are the terminal instructions and detail for functions. Is there something similar for Haskell? I know I can type :help at the prompt but that only gives you info on the broad commands.
I would suggest installing the haddock documentation for all packages/modules you use. Depending on your system that may already be the case (e.g. Arch), or you may have to install separate document packages (e.g. Debian). If you install manually, using 'cabal', then there really ought to be some way of also compiling the docs and installing them.
Set documentation: True in ~/.cabal/config to automatically build local docs for each installed package. Also it might be a good idea to set library-profiling: True there.
