#11654: User Guide: Generate command line options table from ghc-flags directives -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: bgamari | Owner: patrickdoc Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 8.4.1 Component: Documentation | Version: 7.10.3 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 patrickdoc): I have a proof of concept for this. It's looking like the best plan is to wrap the table info into the declaration of a flag, something like: {{{ .. ghc-flag:: -v :shortdesc: verbose mode (equivalent to -v3) :type: dynamic :reverse: (none for this flag) Longer decription here... }}} Which would render as: **-v** Longer description here and then the table could look like, | **-v** | verbose mode (equivalent to -v3) | dynamic | | --- The main tasks remaining are figuring out the formatting of the table, determining what variables actually need to be passed around, and moving all the info into the flag declarations from the `mkUserGuidePart` files. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11654#comment:4 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
