Comment (by guest):
There are two tasks: building the documentation and installing it. As for
building, it is surely good to support widely known formats, but I think
the developer should always have the option to do something else (say via
a hook). It is not possible to anticipate all the possible types of
documentation that the developers are going to come up with. Suppose for
instance if someone writes an alternative to haddock and uses it to
process its own documentation.
As to installing the documentation, it seems to be rather easy: just copy
the contents of /dist/doc to $docdir. This can be done independently of
how the documentation was built. Or am I missing something?
