#11654: User Guide: Generate command line options table from ghc-flags directives -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Documentation | Version: 7.10.3 Keywords: | Operating System: Unknown/Multiple Architecture: | Type of failure: None/Unknown Unknown/Multiple | Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: Differential Rev(s): | Wiki Page: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Since the move to ReStructuredText and Sphinx we've generated the options summary tables and manpage with `utils/mkUserGuidePart`. The options are described in a set of Haskell modules which are a pain to edit and may easily fall out of date. It would be far better if we could generate these tables from the `.. ghc- flags` directives already present in the users guide. This will involve a bit of hacking with Sphinx, although it should be more than up to the task. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11654 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
