#2168: ghci should show haddock comments for identifier -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: j.waldmann | Owner: Type: feature request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 6.8.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by adamse): I am intersted in implementing this. Does anyone have any thoughts about how? Perhaps someone has already started on this a bit? My tentative plan of attack is 1. Modify ghc to include the docs in interface files (Modify IfaceSyn.IfaceDecl to optionally include docs) 2. Add a :doc command to ghci Once that is done the next step would be to modify Haddock to take advantage of this. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/2168#comment:25 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
